Former Rep. Matt Gaetz could make a comeback in Congress after resignation

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress on November 14, just before a House Ethics Committee vote on allegations against him, including sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations. He has denied all allegations and cites the Justice Department's decision not to charge him as evidence of his innocence. During a CNN discussion, Republican strategist Scott Jennings suggested Gaetz could still return to Congress in January, as he was elected for the next term. Jennings noted that Gaetz's resignation does not prevent him from being sworn in. David Axelrod, a former adviser to President Obama, also indicated that a Gaetz comeback is possible. He stated that Gaetz is unlikely to fade away quietly and could potentially win re-election in his district.
