Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration raising questions about his political future
Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress after being nominated as Donald Trump's attorney general but has now withdrawn from consideration. This raises questions about his future in politics, as he had previously stated he would not take the oath for the next Congress. With Gaetz no longer pursuing the attorney general position, he could potentially return to Congress in January, following his recent reelection. However, this might also reignite an ongoing ethics investigation into his conduct. If Gaetz does not return to the House, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may appoint him to fill the Senate seat being vacated by Marco Rubio. Alternatively, Gaetz could join the Trump administration in a role that does not require Senate confirmation.
