Great then the Senate ethics committee can take over from the House.

"Because Gaetz resigned from Congress, his seat must be filled through a special election in Florida, per the Constitution, meaning he cannot just retake his place in the House or be appointed into the seat.
"Could Matt Gaetz Run For His Own House Seat?
Gaetz—who won reelection in his Florida congressional district with 66.3% of the vote—could likely run for his own seat again in a special election. Jonathan Hanson, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy, told Forbes he believes Gaetz would not have a problem running again as there is nothing in Florida law that would prohibit the person who vacated the seat from becoming a party’s nominee in a special election."
The only problem is, if Gaetz returns to the House, the ethics investigation resumes. That's the whole reason he resigned his seat in the first place.

He still won. He resigned this term. He'll be sworn in again in January
This. He’ was re-elected so he’ll have his job back.

He was good on animal issues, too. But not good enough to get me past the stuff he's very very bad about.

Trump is such a strong leader, already making tough decisions to maintain a high-caliber Cabinet.

Gaetz wouldn't be able to hold a statewide seat, even in Florida. His district was Florabama.

I can't think of a greater threat to democracy and fascism on the horizon than the AG appointee dropping out and the President-elect saying ok let's move on.

I don't see this happening. DeSantis isn't the golden boy anymore in FL. Certainly he doesn't have the MAGA support that is needed to pull this off.

Gaetz gave up a shoo-in House seat and now ends up with nothing.
He'll go for Rubio's seat.
DeSantis isn’t appointing his ass to that seat and he’s not winning a primary either.
