Trump's surprise nomination of Gaetz for attorney general raises eyebrows among Republicans

Former President Donald Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general has sparked controversy among Republicans. Gaetz was not previously considered for the role, surprising many in the party. His nomination reportedly came together just hours before the announcement. Several theories have emerged regarding Trump's choice. One suggests Trump values Gaetz's loyalty and willingness to investigate those who have targeted him. Another theory posits that Gaetz's nomination is a strategic move to give centrist Republicans cover for rejecting a controversial pick. Some believe the nomination serves as a loyalty test for Senate Republicans, while others think it aims to humiliate the Senate. Additionally, there are claims that Gaetz's nomination could help him avoid an impending ethics report by resigning from Congress.
