Rep. Matt Gaetz resigned from the U.S. House this afternoon. I have confirmed this with multiple sources. This starts the clock on a special election for his replacement. According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, the seat may be filled as early as Jan. 3.

Axios reports: “I think, out of deference to us, he issued his resignation letter — effectively immediately — from Congress,” Johnson told reporters at a press conference.

I will have more on who may run for Gaetz’s seat in the morning. Stay tuned.
