GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just replaced an elected Democratic state prosecutor, the second time he's done so in just over a year.
Stepping away from the campaign trail on Wednesday, DeSantis announced he had officially suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell, citing a "neglect of duty and incompetence," and replaced her with Andrew Bain, who was serving as an Orange County Court judge before his new appointment.
