I think it was more that he met with a bunch of Senators yesterday and the opposition is pretty strong and then on top of that details of the report keep leaking which makes it impossible for him to make traction with the Senators saying no.
Ultimately it was Senate opposition that did him in. If the report came out but he had 51 votes neither he nor anyone in Trumpworld would care.

“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,” Gaetz said in a statement posted on his X account.
Interesting. I wonder if Trump asked him to.
You can bet your life Trump told him to withdraw.
