Florida Prepares for Special Election to Fill Gaetz's Vacant Seat
TL;DR Summary
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz's decision not to return to Congress after withdrawing from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general leaves his seat vacant for months, challenging the already narrow majority of House Republicans. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has scheduled a special election for Gaetz's seat, with the primary on January 28 and the general election on April 1, leaving the seat unfilled for at least 12 weeks. This vacancy, along with potential GOP departures for Trump's Cabinet, could further impact the Republican majority in the House.
