Matt Gaetz announces he will not return to Congress after withdrawing from attorney general consideration

Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress after withdrawing from consideration for the attorney general position under President-elect Donald Trump. He expressed support for other candidates running for his seat in Florida. Gaetz's decision follows his resignation from Congress amid ongoing sexual misconduct allegations, which he has denied. He stated he has served long enough and wants to pursue other goals while continuing to support Trump. He attributed his withdrawal to the slow pace of the nomination process and suggested that his previous efforts to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy affected his chances. Gaetz praised Pam Bondi, who has been nominated to lead the Justice Department.
