U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz announced in a podcast interview with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk that he will not be returning to Congress in January for the next term. This decision came after he withdrew his name from consideration for the position of Attorney General in the Trump administration, for which he was initially nominated. Despite winning re-election to a fifth term in November, Gaetz has stepped down from his seat in Congress and will not be sworn in for the 119th Congress. This move likely triggers a Special Election in Florida’s 1st Congressional District to replace him. It should be noted that Gaetz’s resignation came amidst an ongoing House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, the report of which has been withheld due to his departure from the body. Gaetz’s decision not to return to Congress effectively closes the door on his days as a House member and opens the path for a new representative to take his place in the upcoming term.
