Senior Trump political adviser Chris LaCivita is joining a super PAC bolstering Florida Sen. Ashley Moody in next year's midterm election, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: LaCivita gives Moody, who has filled the seat formerly held by now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the imprimatur of support from President Trump's orbit.

Moody was appointed in January to the seat by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who faced off against Trump in a bitter battle for the Republican nomination in 2024.
Moody, a former Florida attorney general, is seeking a full term in 2026.
She has yet to attract a serious primary challenger.

Zoom in: Moody has also brought on Tony Fabrizio, another chief strategist on Trump's 2024 campaign.

LaCivita and Fabrizio are playing key roles in steering Trump's cash-flush political operation.
LaCivita is working for several other GOP candidates running next year, including Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Michigan Senate hopeful Mike Rogers.
Fabrizio's roster of candidates includes Cornyn and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis.
