The Associated Press reports:
Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. told Fox Business on Sunday that the transition team had backups in mind for his controversial nominees should they fail to get confirmed. The swift selection of Bondi came about six hours after Gaetz withdrew.
Gaetz posted on social media that he looks “forward to continuing the fight to save our country,” adding, “Just maybe from a different post.”
Last week, Trump named personal lawyers Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible attorney general contender, Matt Whitaker, was announced Wednesday as the U.S. ambassador to NATO.
CNN reports:
Senior congressional leaders in both parties are scrambling to determine if Matt Gaetz can return to the House next year after he abruptly pulled himself from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general.But an early consensus is emerging at all levels of House leadership: Lawmakers and senior aides believe that Gaetz can still return in January — a scenario that some have privately feared could happen all along.
Given the way Gaetz carefully crafted his resignation letter earlier this month, multiple sources tell CNN that there may be nothing stopping Gaetz from being sworn in at the start of the next Congress. Congressional sources say he is still on track to be named to the seat because the governor has not yet called a special election and he cannot preemptively resign from a Congress that has not started yet.
So we’re not done with him.
Thank you, Mr. VP-Elect!
I look forward to continuing the fight to save our country.
Just maybe from a different post 🇺🇸 https://t.co/v9w9xFYNEE
