Matt Gaetz announces he will not run for Congress next year

Matt Gaetz, the former Florida Representative, announced he will not run for Congress next year. This follows his withdrawal from consideration for attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. Gaetz stated he believes eight years in Congress is enough. Gaetz resigned from the House earlier this month amid an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, which he denies. He plans to support Trump’s administration from a different role and praised Pam Bondi as a strong choice for attorney general. His withdrawal from the attorney general nomination was partly due to concerns that the investigation would distract from the new administration's work. Gaetz emphasized his commitment to continue supporting Trump.
