I'm not just heart-broken over Gaetz abandoning his bid for AG, I'm heart-broken that he already RESIGNED from Congress too. If Gaetz isn't put into the AG slot via recess appointments or if he's not put into Rubio's vacated Senate seat (or some other amazing slot), I'm gonna just come unglued.
Out of ALL the picks in Pres. Trump's new administration, Gaetz as AG is - by far - the one I've been the most elated about, until this whammy happened. I've been inconsolable ever since the news broke that he withdrew.
Totally agree. The skip in my step disappeared as soon as Gaetz withdrew from the AG nomination. I don’t think he’s even going to be able to get his House seat back (despite being re-elected) because of some extended length of time he can’t be reinstated.
Not sure what the timeframe was (I don’t recall the exact number of days/months), but when I first heard Gaetz’s resignation being read out loud on the House floor, there was an extended period of time that he agreed to re: not serving in Congress upon his departure.
I’m so friggin’ bummed about this - to lose Gaetz in Congress AND as the upcoming Atty. General within just a few days is such a huge blow IMO. Praying that Pres. Trump finds another impactful spot for Gaetz - he’s too valuable to lose!
Taking Rubio’s Senate seat would be okay, but being one of 100 Senators wouldn’t give him the ‘transformative change agent’ latitude that being the AG would be. This whole thing is really kicking me in the gut. Gaetz is my absolute fave member of Congress - EVER! :-(
