I’m not sure I’m a fan of this move, unless he is just saying it to get the Senate rinos off his back.
How red is his seat? How likely is someone else on the republican side to win it?
The GOPe senators have said he CANNOT represent Trump as a sitting Congressman.
Gaetz says he’ll resign, it’s a higher priority than keeping his seat.
He says he’s never lost a trial case, and he won’t start in the Senate.
Our district, FL-1, is solid red................
No....not a great idea. We need his seat in the House.
It signals conviction in his position, that’s for sure.
It also signals fundamental disagreement with GOP Senate. “if you can’t stand for this argument, I don’t want to be a member.”
The Senate and Congress as a whole are failed institutions. I don’t believe they are capable of self-repair. There is no moral legitimacy there.
Like a Republican would look out for you, that is rich.
He can resign then run again and win his seat. Or run against Rubio in teh senate and take his seat!
You are aware the state has to be redristricted before 22 and that state is deep red at every level?
Florida panhandle district would be considered safe for R's even in the new age of engineered elections.
His seat is RED, but I think they are really after him for going to Wyoming to fight ultra establishment member cheney.
The GOPe is disgusting me more each day.
“””How red is his seat? How likely is someone else on the republican side to win it?”””
Gaetz’s district is so RED that it BLEEDS.
About as red as it gets.
About as red as it gets.
The trial will last about a day. He will be able to run afterwards.
I know nothing about his district—but I don’t think resigning a seat when there is a 7 vote difference might not be a great idea.
