“I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General,” now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz posted on social media.
Once the nation’s largest swing state, Florida is now stocked with Trump allies and a comfortable home turf for Republicans.
It’s a state Trump won by more than 10 percentage points, up from his three-point win in 2020.
“You need an Attorney General on Day 1 to be able to executive your plan,” a Trump official said.
“I am kind of surprised other states are not pushing back harder, but they just are not.”“But that kind of makes sense to a degree,” Iarossi added of the state Trump won easily.
