BREAKING: Matt Gaetz says he may run for Florida Senate seat

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz told a Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix Sunday that he might run for Sen. Marco Rubio’s vacated Senate seat in Florida. Lara Trump had considered running as well but has since declined the opportunity. 

“We have been asked which perch I will be fighting from next, and some of you throughout this conference have even given me a few suggestions,” Gaetz began, noting that people have mentioned running for governor of Florida or perhaps being a “special counsel to go after the insider trading for my former colleagues in Congress.”
