The political future of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who suddenly withdrew Thursday as President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general over sexual trafficking allegations, could be in the hands of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if he seeks a return to Congress.
The Florida Republican stepped down from his House seat last week when Trump tapped him to lead the Justice Department and days before the House Ethics Committee prepared to release a report on an investigation into whether he had sex with a 17-year-old girl during a drug-fueled party.
