The New York Post reports:
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz suggested Saturday that he might run for governor of the Sunshine State, days after he withdrew from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general pick.
The 42-year-old Republican posted a GIF of the state flag waving on X, teasing he is open to running. He was responding to ex-Florida House Rep. Anthony Sabatini, who posted Gaetz “will be the next Governor of the State of Florida.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is term-limited from seeking re-election. DeSantis called a special election for April 1, 2025 to fill Gaetz’s seat in Florida’s 1st congressional district.
Read the full article.
Gaetz could get his chance rather quickly should DeSantis decide to appoint himself to fill Rubio’s Senate seat.
DeSantis, so far, has remained silent about the coming Senate vacancy, which Lara Trump is publicly lobbying for.
As for Anthony Sabatini, he has appeared here many times as the most viciously cultist of Florida state reps, which is really saying something.
Sabatini gave up his Florida House seat for two failed runs for Congress and is now a county GOP official.
