Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz gave a full-throated endorsement of former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination on Wednesday as other conservatives blamed the ex-president for the Republican Party's middling performance in the midterm elections.
While some conservative commentators lashed out at Trump after several of his endorsed candidates lost their races Tuesday, Gaetz wrote in a Daily Caller op-ed that a Trump 2024 run is "necessary" to "continue to disrupt and serve the people against the Swamp."
"The job President Trump started was not finished. Only Trump can be trusted to enact the ‘America First’ agenda he ran on in 2016. We won’t accept any imitation," Gaetz wrote.
The Freedom Caucus lawmaker called out GOP establishment figures like former House Speaker Paul Ryan and billionaire mega-donor Ken Griffin, who have each said they would support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

But Gaetz argued that anyone else but Trump in 2024 would push the Republican Party back toward corporate interests and away from the populist issues like immigration and "draining the Swamp" that won Republicans the White House in 2016.
"Why would we stop the progress now and go back to Republicans supported by Wall Street? We shouldn’t bench our star quarterback at halftime," Gaetz wrote.
He also said failing to re-nominate Trump "would be a reward to the scumbags on the January 6 Committee and all of those who are aligned against our movement."
"Donald Trump started this and has no intention of being a retiree. He earned our trust by keeping his promises," Gaetz wrote. "America is broken under Biden. Trump alone can fix it."

GAETZ: America Needs Trump Back In The White House
Nov 9, 2022
I can rattle you off statistics about how much better America was two years ago. Gas prices were roughly half of what they are now. There was about a third less fentanyl crossing the border. We were also not on the brink of nuclear war with Russia.
You know how much better life was under President Donald Trump than Biden, you don’t need me to tell you that. It’s time now, though, to look to the future. (RELATED: WHITON: After Florida Landslide But No Red Wave, Trump Faces Humiliation If He Takes On DeSantis)
The job President Trump started was not finished. Only Trump can be trusted to enact the “America First” agenda he ran on in 2016. We won’t accept any imitation. Despite what many Washington, D.C., conservative elites want you to believe, we are not in the “post-Trump era” or close to it. We are still in the midst of the revolution started by Trump when he rode down that golden escalator.
Just look at who is lined up against Trump already in the 2024 primary. It’s folks like Paul Ryan or billionaire mega-donor Ken Griffin, who is planning to back a Trump challenge. Politico reports Griffin “wants to … blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world.”
This is why a Trump 2024 run is so necessary. We know that he will continue to disrupt and serve the people against the Swamp.
Many of the same Republicans that will agitate against him raise millions off of his name in email fundraising solicitations because they know how popular he is with the base. Trump is popular because he kept his promises. Do you remember celebrating the demolition of ISIS? That was the strength of a focused Trump foreign policy.
We had an economic boom under President Trump, secured the border and rewrote the political map. Why would we stop the progress now and go back to Republicans supported by Wall Street? We shouldn’t bench our star quarterback at halftime.
There’s so many more accomplishments left for us to achieve if we elect Donald Trump back to the White House.
There is still much swamp to be drained in every administrative agency of our government.
There are still miles of wall to be built and longtime counterproductive foreign policies to be reversed. Trump was and is targeted by the “intelligence community” because he applies intelligent thought to avoid wars, not start them.
The saying goes, “if you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.” President Trump has not stopped taking flak from the lying media and the nonstop investigations because he’s the Swamp’s worst nightmare.
We would be giving up by not having Trump as the Republican nominee in 2024. It would be a reward to the scumbags on the January 6 Committee and all of those who are aligned against our movement.
Donald Trump started this and has no intention of being a retiree. He earned our trust by keeping his promises.
America is broken under Biden. Trump alone can fix it.

As the media soap opera turns. How much money did Trump raise today, find any quality candidates for ‘24 today, what’s the unified position on the Uke quagmire? You know issues that win elections, not this distracting clap trap BS.
Trump has already won a second term, but it was stolen from him by the swamp and pussy republicans who wouldn’t fight.
My bad. I didn’t see it and the apostrophe prevented my search for alone in the title.

Nothing matched your criteria.
that’s just bullsnit. that boy just has has a crush.
there are 330 million people in this country. it’s barking mad to think that one one guy can fix it.
I agree. Re-electing Trump is the best way to repudiate the deep state, Dims, Rhino GopE and the media.
If they get away with this slow motion coup, they will do it again to every opposition candidate. Put Trump back in the Oval Office in ‘24 and it will make life much easier for DeSantis in ‘28.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
Your lack of imagination is showing by posting this identical posts constantly in thread after thread.
No one can run against Trump and succeed.
We (Trump and MAGA crowd) have been together for 6 years.. 2 of those years have been a fight for our country.
I want him to cross the finish line and meet all those who have been after him.
I want a day to celebrate a WIN and 4 years to get my country back.
I want to be in the winner glow with Trump and all who prayed.. gave.. stood..with the man who became President for a nation and for all the dedicated soldiers who served us.. none of the sacrifice was in vain.
God bless President Trump
It’s not easy to stand for all the right things..when surrounded by rabid dogs from the pit wanting to devour.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.

he should take his lovely wife to the beach for a few weeks. pick a tropical island -- one without broadband.
$180 million seems a little much for a governor's race
He did give $44 million to the FL GOP
Lot of money being thrown his way. That's a lotta favors.
TDSers attackng Trump thread after threrad shows a lack of imagination.
Good for Gaetz to give his endorsement.
In his victory speech Gaetz said he will no longer be limited to 5 minutes as he grills the Biden regime bureaucrats.
In Trump alone Gaetz's hope is found
Donald should be the nominee
From DeSantis Gaetz is unbound
All other candidates set free.
What heights of trust, what depths of praise
Upon the Donald Gaetz will raise...
Trump's MAGA is Gaetz's all in all
Only with Trump will Gaetz takes a firm stand.
(with apologies to Adrienne Camp)
If Trump is the nominee, I will vote for him. If DeSantis is the nominee, I will vote for him. If Lake is the nominee, I will vote for her. 'Nuff said.
