Matt Gaetz withdraws from Attorney General consideration but may return to Congress
Matt Gaetz, former Florida Congressman, withdrew from consideration for Attorney General amid concerns over alleged ethics violations. Despite resigning, he may still have a chance to return to Congress since he was re-elected for the next session starting January 3, 2025. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is preparing for a special election to fill Gaetz's seat, but it has not been scheduled yet. The House Ethics Committee's report on Gaetz remains pending, and its release could impact his potential return. Some of Gaetz's supporters are promoting his candidacy for various positions, including a Senate seat. However, DeSantis reportedly does not plan to appoint Gaetz to any position.
