Donald Trump could potentially name Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) to head up FEMA. https://bsky.app/profile/the-downballot.com/post/3ldh5zjkhfc2p

Savvy move if Moskowitz takes the bait. It sets Trump up to win Moskowitz red-trending district in a special election.

I doubt they'll win a special there, but it is savvy because that House seat would be vacant for a year.

Which mean Jared Moskowitz should accept such a nomination if, and only if, there is a firm commitment from DeSantis that the special election be held within a reasonable time – say 60 days.

The only reason they are considering him is to flip the seat. Jared must know that. He’s probably scared he’ll lose next time

If Democrats didn’t lose the seat in 2022 and 2024, I seriously doubt they lose when they don’t have the house or White House in 2026.

I wouldn't be so sure. The prez margin shrunk and I would expect whatever Republican runs for Gov to possibly carry the seat or come close.

Not a surprise that Moskowitz would think of selling out his party and taking a job with Trump. He’s the Eric Adams of South Florida.
