Matt Gaetz's Future in Congress Uncertain After AG Withdrawal

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 a special election to fill his expected vacancy has not been scheduled. If Gaetz decides to serve, he could be sworn in, as House rules require members to record their presence at the start of a new session. Florida's election laws and the timing of a special election remain uncertain.
