Gaetz’s House Seat: No Guarantee of Return After Resignation
Following President-elect Trump’s nomination, Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, leaving his House seat vacant. His resignation was effective immediately, and he explicitly stated he wouldn’t assume the seat again. While a special election is required by the Constitution to fill the vacancy, Gaetz is not guaranteed to win this election. Although he could run, Florida’s governor is responsible for scheduling the election, and there’s no guarantee of his re-election.
