Matt Gaetz is reportedly plotting his next big career move and uuuggghhh
Matt Gaetz, the gay-hating Republican congressman whose sole legislative goal at the moment seems to be harassing Speaker Kevin McCarthy, is widely expected to run for Florida governor in 2026, NBC News reports.While the race to succeed DeSantis is still three years away, it’s worth being vigilant now.
Gaetz attended a reception Sunday night for the incoming speaker of the Florida House, and “strongly implied several times he would be running for governor,” according to four people at the event. “He’s 100% in,” said one Republican operative.
While Gaetz is calling the report “overblown clickbait,” he’s also providing hints about his gubernatorial aspirations.“Many did encourage me to consider running for governor one day,” he told reporters Monday, “but we have an outstanding governor who will be in that position through 2026.”Gaetz added his only political focus right now is getting Donald Trump reelected in 2024 (along with trolling his way onto Fox News and Newsmax, of course).Just when you think Florida couldn’t have a worse Governor…And we all thought Florida couldn’t get worse.The Florida Democrats have been waiting for a miracle…and I give you Matt Gaetz https://t.co/L8Tq400VIvThis is crazy because he’d actually be responsible for governing rather than just being a loud mouth trying to secure slots on Fox News.
https://t.co/GnPaU5t1TZDid nobody tell him the governorship of Florida is more than 18 years old? https://t.co/YoisRxrostHailing from an overwhelmingly red district in the panhandle, Gaetz is one of the GOP’s most belligerent obstructionists, which is saying something!
