Earlier this month, Trump tapped another Floridian, Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., to serve as national security adviser.
Waltz just won re-election to Congress this month.
After he resigns from Congress to take on his new role in the Trump administration, there will be a special election held to fill the vacancy.
