I really like Gaetz!
I do as well. The one thing I’m wondering is, what’s going to happen regarding his seat?
Read several interesting theories overnight about what FReepers think Trump may be up to with this pick. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
Ron DeSantis, my Gov, has now ordered special elections for the seats lost to cabinet positions. He has not appointed the Senate vacancy as yet, but traction is there for Laura Trump. I’d support that fully.
More on Gaetz from R’s:
“Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of Trump’s few Republican critics in Congress, said she was shocked to hear of Gaetz’s nomination, adding that, “I’m sure that there will be many, many questions raised at Mr. Gaetz’s hearing if in fact the nomination goes forward.”
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, another Trump critic, said that, “as far as I am concerned,” Gaetz was not a serious candidate.
North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appeared to express doubts about the nomination, saying Gaetz will have “his work cut out for him” to win enough votes for confirmation.
“I’m sure it will make for a popcorn-eating confirmation hearing,” Tillis said.”
