Nein, es ist nicht garantiert, dass Matt Gaetz seinen Sitz im Repräsentantenhaus zurückerhält, nachdem er seine Nominierung zurückgezogen hat

That’s some good news for today.
I’m good with that
I’m pretty sure he just wanted to get out before the disastrous ethics report. Also, he’s not well-liked even among the GOP members.
He doesn’t want to go back – he wants to go to Fox News.
I’m sure the MAGA agitators currently pushing for Lara Trump to be appointed to Rubio’s Senate seat will change course and advocate for Gaetz to be appointed instead.
Which DeSantis will do on the 4th of never.
This is a likely scenario. He’s very unpopular at his work. He’s done some damages to own party in the past (McCarthy?) He’s accused of an active sexual misconduct. He recently resigned just to dodge the ethics committee. However… he still has some strings. He’s elected for the next congress, daddy is rich, a possibly valuable asset for dirt
If one of the Democrats on the committee don’t leak the report they are complicit in a cover up
INFO: Is this like…
“I resign my seat in Congress”
~~ a few days later ~~
“Hey! I was just kidding”
I wonder what Nelson Muntz would say about this.
He wasn’t ever going back.
Please remember all of politics is theater. Gaetz needed to leave before the report was released. He also did Trump some favors the last four years so Trump gives him an out with this AG gambit.
I’m sure once it went down he deluded himself for a couple days he could actually get through, but ultimately this was all just a setup to make it seem like he wasn’t leaving the house in shame.
He quit his seat because the ethics committee report was due to come out 2 days later, not because he had been nominated for AG. If for some reason he was allowed to reclaim his senate seat, then the report would be on the table again. Everything this guy does is self serving.
I hope the ethics committee ends up deciding to releases the report anyway make sure he’s never in politics again
Dumb question, but does him getting re-elected enable him to regain his House seat? I.e., he resigned in the current term that doesn’t end until start of January but because he was re-elected to the term that begins in January, it’s almost like a retroactive running for a vacant seat?
Or is the Constitutional wording on House vacancies absolute? I.e., if the seat is vacated, it is vacant no matter what until a special election is called, regardless of any pending election results?
This was all a game to evade the house ethics report.
He just quit to star in the live action movie Beavis and Butthead end democracy
He should in no way be allowed back.
And they should release the report to explain why.
Any guesses on which country he will be an ambassador to?
If they have a special election the MAGA people will surely vote him back in. They’re suckers for criminals.
I could see him running for Governor. My understanding is the election is in 2 years and DeSantis can’t run again. Two terms as governor and he will be ready to run for president.
Fuck that! Put him in a courtroom to answer to his accusers.
Couldn’t have happened to a better piece of shit
He was the disruptive fox in the henhouse distracting the farmers while the tigers chewed a bigger hole in the fence. The tigers own the farm now, they have no more use for disruptive foxes.
Kevin McCarthy probably showed up offering to help Gaetz pack up his office?
Hopefully, Trump will nominate Boebert and MTG to something so they will have to give up their seats too. That’s the only silver lining from this terrible nominations.
He resigned. Next?
Oh man, did Trump set him up to lose everything? I’d almost be impressed.
They’ll be forced to release the report if he comes back to the seat.
He should be serving time, I just wish he would fade away
He resigned as a representee I accept his resignation immediately.
His nomination was a distraction!
“Mr. Gaetz plans to take time off to be with his family and children. And, specifically, attractive female children between the ages of 16-17 who accept Venmo.”
I figure he will go for Florida governor in 26 since DeSantis will be at his limit.
Have you never been to the panhandle? If the ethics report says they found 20 children under his basement floor, he’ll still win back his spot by 80%.
I hope this is the end of his political career.
he did not have to resign to accept the nom lol. This was all very clear smoke to get out of a jam.
Also he clearly fled to avoid the ethics report. Wouldn’t it be officially back in the docket if her returned?
Imagine how hated you have to be for all of this to unfold this way lol
