> Former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz said that he is considering running for Florida governor in the next election.
> In a video clipped and posted on X from One America News, Gaetz said the Tampa Bay Times texted him asking if he would consider running for the position to which he responded “Of course I am.”
> “I am the true Florida man after all,” he said on the show. “Lots of Florida Republicans would be pretty excited.”
> Gaetz was a representative in Congress from 2017 to 2024 and was reelected in the past election before he was nominated as attorney general by President-elect Donald Trump. He later withdrew ahead of the release of a House Ethics panel report accusing him of “regularly” paying for sex with women, including a minor.
> The report by the bipartisan panel included explicit details of sex-filled parties and vacations that Gaetz took part in from 2017-2020. The politician has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
> Pam Bondi, former Florida attorney general, replaced him as the nominee for attorney general.
> After he withdrew, Gaetz was hired as the host of a weekly primetime show on the far-right One America News Network.
> In the video posted on X, Gaetz said he said he couldn’t believe there were already questions about the next election when Trump hasn’t been sworn in yet.
> “My family will think and pray about this. We have plenty of time. My job for now is here on One America News,” he said. “Who knows where that might lead? I’ve always loved Tallahassee.”
> While Ron DeSantis is currently the Sunshine State’s governor, he is term-limited after being elected in 2018 and 2022.
God damn I want to say Blorida is in sight but we know how it’ll go 😭
