floated

The co-chair of the Republican National Committee and daughter-in-law to Donald Trump has been floated by Florida Sen. Rick Scott as a potential replacement for Sen. Marco Rubio following his nomination earlier this week to serve as Donald Trump’s Secretary of State.

He floated the possibility of reassigning those in administrative roles to patrol, given the department’s slimmed-down size.

“Everybody was on alert because little balls of grease drifted out. People floated backwards, like in the Matrix film, to dodge the balls of meat juice.”

Rubio's name is being floated as possibly taking on the Secretary of State position.

There's no telling who this braintrust is going to choose for attorney general or secretary of state — some semi-respectable names have been floated but there are also Hegseth-level choices out there as well.
