What's Next For Matt Gaetz?

Charlie Kirk: So. So Matt, I now have to ask about just what your plans are, and it's okay if you have to, you know, punt on it because you might not know. It's important to know you resign from this Congress, not the next Congress.

Our audience is 100% behind Matt Gates, by the way. They are very, very upset that you were not be, you know, able to get all the way to Attorney General. I have to ask what is next for Matt Gates?

Matt Gaetz: Yeah, I'm still going to be in the fight, but it's going to be from a new perch. I do not intend to join the 119th Congress.

There are a number of fantastic Floridians who've stepped up to run for my seat, people who have inspired with their heroism, with their public service. And I'm actually excited to, to see, Northwest Florida go to new heights and, and have great representation.

Charlie, I've been in an elected office for 14 years. I first got elected to the state House when I was 26 years old. And, I'm 42 now, and I've got some other goals in life that I'm eager to pursue, my wife and my family. And so I'm, I'm going to be fighting for President Trump. I'm going to be doing whatever he asks of me as I always have. But I think that eight years is probably enough time in the United States Congress. You know, in Florida, our voters got to vote on term limits for state government, and the the campaign was eight is enough.

And so you can only do eight years in the Florida House of Representatives. And so it seems like a pretty pathetic time to allow that great new blood to come in, to allow my district to have high quality representation. And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not taking off for, like, you know, a tropical excursion, for the rest of my life.

I am here to help save this country. And one thing you know, the great patriots at Turning Point know we need people at every level. We need brilliant lawyers on the outside. We need tough congressmen and congresswomen on the inside. We need, a leadership structure under President Trump that's going to allow for durability of our movement and, and the ability to continue this great realignment of our politics.

And so I'll play a part in that. I plan to be a big voice, but maybe not as a as an elected member of the government. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IxdWhIDvv0
