Former President Donald Trump celebrated the 'great news' that Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) is expected to resign from the Senate to lead the University of Florida.
Former President Donald Trump celebrated the"great news" that Sen. Ben Sasse is expected to resign from the Senate to lead the University of Florida.
In two posts to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump blasted Sasse, saying the university"will soon regret their decision to hire him." It was revealed on Thursday that Sasse, 50, is in discussions with the University of Florida to become its next president."Great news for the United States Senate, and our Country itself. Liddle’ Ben Sasse, the lightweight Senator from the great State of Nebraska, will be resigning.
Sasse has stood out as a GOP senator who has criticized Trump for “flirting with white supremacists” and “kissing dictators’ butts.” Sasse was also one of seven Republican senators who voted in favor of convicting Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in his second impeachment trial.Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts is expected to tap a replacement to complete Sasse's term if he does leave, and timing will be a factor. Sasse was reelected to a second term in 2020. That term ends in January 2027.
Should he resign in December, Ricketts will be tasked with appointing Sasse's successor. If Sasse resigns in January or after, the new governor, who is likely to be Republican Jim Pillen, will choose the appointee, possibly allowing Ricketts to be chosen to serve in the upper chamber.
