Per NPR, he resigned from this term, however he was reelected and he could be sworn in again in January. IF he chooses to do so, he risks reopening the Ethics investigation.
House members are replaced by special election, not by gubernatorial appointment. So we’ll get whoever can win the Florida panhandle, sometime in 2025.
👍🏼 but when Marco Rubio gets confirmed, well thats the vacancy that Ron can fill with whomever. The finger in the eye that is politics right now could point at that Guy.
BREAKING: Matt Gaetz withdraws himself from being Trump's Attorney General pick, says his confirmation was becoming a "distraction to the critical work" of the Trump transition.
Some folks have said that Matt Gaetz should come after me for inaccuracies in this post, so I want to come out and say: I regret the false implication that Matt Gaetz was ever Attorney General of the United States. I was embellishing for humor.
FYI computer scientists and election security experts from Brown University, Lawrence Livermore Labs, University of South Carolina, etc. have sounded the alarm on verified breaches of voting systems and urging a forensic audit of the U.S. presidential election. https://www.planetcritical.com/p/cyber-security-experts-warn-election-hacked
That’s a pretty harsh take, but it’s hard to ignore the ongoing controversies surrounding him. If there’s one thing that’s clear, accountability is key in all cases, regardless of who’s involved.
They got Guo Wengui, Tenet Media, Stewart Rhodes, Enrique Tarrio, over 1000 other insurrectionists, the PRC police detachment in New York, and the cops who shot Breonna Taylor.
As for Trump, no one saw the Supreme Court's decision coming (because it's a tissue of lies).
Today we can add Adani to the list, another reputedly untouchable billionaire. Garland's DOJ has not accomplished all we would have liked to see it do, but it's not like it "had one job".
According to this article, he did officially withdraw. A special election has to be issued by the House to fill the now empty spot. If Gaetz runs & wins - it's his. So, he has to get voted in again. Excuse my poor highlighting job.
That makes sense, but I remain confused. He says he doesn't intend to take the oath next year, but it seems like he might be free to change his intention. And wouldn't the special election be for the remainder of the current term?
This might come down to details of Florida law not in the story.
Yup yup! Because he withdrew from Congress, they already started planning for a special election to fill his seat. If he wins it, he's back in, but I hope he doesn't.
Now that Gaetz is out, Trump will have to take the time and trouble to find another suitably qualified Republican for AG who is a
- rapist,
- sexual predator,
- pedophile and/or
- domestic violence perpetrator.
And definitely misogynist.

That’s worth a follow.
