In an exclusive interview with Charlie Kirk, former Congressman Matt Gaetz said, “I’m still gonna be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.”
Yesterday, I reported that Gov. DeSantis’s team had said Gaetz’s resignation was irrevocable. His announcement avoids a political fight between Gaetz and DeSantis.
For those keeping score, the PNJ reports that State Rep. Michelle Salzman and State Rep. Joel Rudman will have to resign 10 days before the qualifying period. I reported that information on Wednesday.
