Matt Gaetz announces he will not seek re-election after withdrawing from attorney general consideration

Matt Gaetz announced he will not return to Congress after withdrawing from consideration for attorney general under President-elect Donald Trump. This decision follows ongoing federal and House Ethics investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz, a Florida Republican, stated he has other personal goals to pursue with his family. His withdrawal from the Cabinet nomination process came just a day before Trump nominated Pam Bondi for the position. Despite winning reelection earlier this month, Gaetz confirmed he will not serve another term in Congress. He expressed that eight years in the House is sufficient.
