Matt Gaetz Withdraws Nomination for Attorney General

Matt Gaetz has confirmed he will not serve in the upcoming Congress, following his withdrawal from consideration for Donald Trump's attorney general position. His resignation, which comes shortly after winning reelection, has raised questions amid ongoing allegations related to his conduct while in office. Gaetz stated he will continue to engage in politics from a 'new perch,' potentially hinting at a future role with Trump or a run for Florida governor in 2026. Despite his resignation, there are discussions about whether he could return to the House, as he won reelection but had resigned before the new Congress begins. The House Ethics Committee is expected to release findings related to Gaetz's alleged misconduct, which could complicate any return to Congress. Gaetz maintains his loyalty to Trump and has suggested he will remain committed to supporting his agenda regardless of his next steps.
