Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress, stating he is done with the House. He made this declaration during an interview with Charlie Kirk, emphasizing he will continue to be politically active from a different position. Gaetz's decision follows a bipartisan investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct, which he claims is a politically motivated attack. He criticized the House Ethics Committee, asserting that if the allegations were true, he would face legal consequences. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has ordered a special election to fill Gaetz's vacant seat. The timing of this election is uncertain, which could impact the Republican majority in the House.
