Rep. Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican who is currently the subject of a Justice Department investigation into whether he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and transported her across state lines in violation of sex trafficking laws, is considering a run for president in 2024.
Gaetz made that disclosure Wednesday in a text message to the New York Post.
I support Donald Trump for president. Ive directly encouraged him to run and he gives me every indication he will, Gaetz told the paper. If Trump doesnt run, Im sure I could defeat whatever remains of Joe Biden by 2024.
One of Trumps most vocal supporters in Congress, Gaetz has embarked on an America First speaking tour alongside Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene that has all the hallmarks of a budding presidential campaign, albeit one that also helps lay the groundwork for Trumps possible run in 2024.

(16,646 posts)I will say, Trump had a "fan base" before running. Gaetz on the other hand, is barely known outside the truly faithful and I'm not sure that Trump will endorse anyone that could truly "replace" him. So Gaetz and Desantis probably don't have a chance of getting any real support/endorsement from Trump.

OTOH, I have noticed that the "I wouldn't trust Bill Clinton with my daughter" idjits have shut their filthy smokeholes, likely for good.

(6,182 posts)Matt Gaetz and Marge TG. That would give every Republican a chance to vote for what they truly hold near and dear.
It would be the end of the Republican Party.

(88 posts)This guy thinks he has trumps popularity--HE DOESN'T. The voters in his district don't like him. Oh yeah he does have some supporters but a good republican candidate would kick his butt. He really doesn't know how bad he looks. And carrying around that disgraced toad is helping him.
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO INDICT THIS GUY?
