Matt Gaetz Withdraws AG Bid Amid Trump Transition Drama

Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his bid to become attorney general in a potential Trump administration, remains eligible to serve in the 119th Congress despite resigning from the 118th. Gaetz has not taken the oath for the upcoming session, and no special election has been scheduled to fill his seat. If he decides to serve, he could be sworn in, as Florida's election laws and House rules do not prevent his return. The situation remains uncertain as Gaetz has not announced his future plans.
