Matt Gaetz says he isn’t coming back to Congress

One day after withdrawing from consideration as Donald Trump’s attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said he’s done with Congress.

“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch,” Gaetz told Charlie Kirk on his radio show Friday. “I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”

Gaetz resigned from Congress immediately upon being tapped by Trump for his administration, but he also won reelection in November to his seat for the next Congress. Florida will have to schedule a special election.
