Why did Matt Gaetz run for reelection and then resign before being sworn in?

He resigned from the current session of Congress.  He can't resign from the next session because it hasn't happened yet.  I am no congressional scholar, so have no basis to refute the newscast that stated resigning from the current session does not automatically resign from the next.  If he isn't a member of the current session the investigations team can't release their report.  I have no idea whetjher that report could be published in the next session, or whether it just dies at the end of this one.

I, and a bunch of other Trump voters let out a sigh of relief when he announced his resignation from the Atty General nom and Congress.  The whole thing may have been a bit of what we military folk term "cover and deception", in that the brouhaha ove Gaetz may have relieved some of the pressure on other nominees like Gabbard and Hegseth.  By the way, Bondi is a good choice.  Like a liberal talk show guy said, she is competent to carry out the Trump agenda.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,
