CNN —Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who withdrew from consideration as President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general on Thursday, said Friday he will not be returning to Congress next year.
And I’m actually excited to see Northwest Florida go to new heights and have great representation,” Gaetz told Kirk.
He also praised Trump’s subsequent choice for attorney general, which the president-elect announced just hours after Gaetz withdrew his name — former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“My good friend Pam Bondi is going to be a phenomenal attorney general for Donald Trump.
“I had a full-time job explaining to senators that maybe a tweet I sent about them was rash and not reflective of how I would serve as attorney general.
