Before I go, do y’all think Matt Gaetz might be President someday?
If the congressman becomes the next governor of Florida, he may become the successful Trump clone the current governor failed to be.
Apparently, Matt Gaetz is telling people that you should expect him to run for governor of Florida.
Gaetz was reportedly seen as “kind of holding court” in Tallahassee for the designation ceremony of Miami Republican state Rep. Danny Perez, the next speaker of the Florida House.
“There was a lot of talk about it at the reception last night, and Gaetz was telling people to basically expect him to be in,” a Florida Republican lobbyist told NBC News.
When asked directly about the event on Sunday night, Gaetz told them:
“Many did encourage me to consider running for governor one day, but we have an outstanding governor who will be in that position through 2026. My only political focus right now is Trump 2024.”
Separately, in a statement to Insider, Gaetz said, “The NBC story is overblown clickbait,” Gaetz said.
Yet, he also said that “dozens” of his former colleagues from the state legislature encouraged him “relentlessly” to pursue the position.
I’m inclined to agree with whatever “Florida Republican operate” told NBC News that…
