Embattled former congressman Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his bid to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, said in an interview Friday that he doesn’t intend to return to his House seat in the next congressional term.
“I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch,” Gaetz said in an interview published Friday with Charlie Kirk, a staunch supporter of President-elect Donald Trump and prominent podcast host. “I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”
Hours after Gaetz ended his bid on Thursday, Trump announced longtime loyalist and former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi as his new pick to head the Justice Department.
