Matt Gaetz announces he will not serve in the 119th session of Congress

Matt Gaetz announced he will not serve in the upcoming 119th session of Congress, following his resignation from the 118th session last week. This decision ends speculation about his potential return after he withdrew from consideration for attorney general. In a podcast interview, Gaetz expressed support for candidates running for his seat and praised Pam Bondi as a strong choice for attorney general. He emphasized his commitment to supporting the incoming Trump administration. Gaetz's resignation comes amid a House Ethics Committee investigation, which has not resulted in charges against him. He stated he will continue to advocate for President Trump despite leaving Congress.
