Matt Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration as the Attorney General so as not to become a distraction in the Trump-Vance agenda. They will also drag his name through the mud.
Matt Gaetz’s statement:
I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.
I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.
The problem is the left will pick the nominees off one at a time. There is blood in the water.
He Might Become Rep. Gaetz Again in January
Matt Gaetz allegedly only withdrew from his current seat in the House. He won the election and did not withdraw from that. He will be sworn in this January.
Another rumor is that he wanted to flesh out the GOP enemies.

Donald Trump responded on Truth Social:
“I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!”

The Rino’s and Neo-Cons who control the Senate win another one.
The “Neo-Conservatives” was a name taken by Trotskyite Communists who infiltrated the Republican Party starting in 1969. They achieved their goal of rotting out and taking control of the Republican Party.
Wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see him become speaker of the house. He’s a better shoe in for that job as well. I’m sorry. I do not trust johnson.
Good.
Finding a politician with a perfectly immaculate past is pretty much impossible.
If the republicans that Trump chooses all withdraw simply because democrats found a tiny spec of imperfection in their past, then Trump may as well let democrat pick the candidates for him.!
I totally disagree with Gaetz and Trump on this.
Trump and Gaetz are letting Democrats dictate what Rerpublicans can do and that is VERY WRONG.
The people who tried to send Trump to prison the people who organized an assassination attempt should NOT be the ones telling Trump whom he can pick!!
I almost have steam coming out of my ears right now, not only because Gaetz was an excellent candidate, but because watching Trump and Gaetz let Democrat set the rules of the game is INFURIATING.
I agree. We won, they lost, we rule. Now Gaetz just becomes 1 of 100 voices instead on 1 commanding voice.
First of all, I don’t think it was necessary to expose GOP enemies. They are well known by most.
Surely Gaetz was aware of the response to his nomination, so why did he decide to go down this road, only to withdraw. It calls into question his many past activities, and their purpose.
