Rep. Matt Gaetz eyes early retirement from Congress to take job at Newsmax

preview

Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesRep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) has privately told confidants he's seriously considering not seeking re-election and possibly leaving Congress early for a job at Newsmax, three sources with direct knowledge of the talks tell Axios.Why it matters: Gaetz is a provocative figure on the right who's attracted attention by being a fierce defender of former President Trump. The Republican also represents a politically potent district on the Florida panhandle.What we’re hearing: Gaetz has told some of his allies he’s interested in becoming a media personality, and floated taking a role at Newsmax.The backdrop: Many Republicans turned to the network after Fox News called Arizona early for President Biden.Between the lines: Gaetz, 38, went to Florida State University and received a law degree from the College of William and Mary. He served in the Florida House before being elected to Congress in 2016.For the record: Gaetz and his spokesman did not immediately respond to several requests for comment."Jared, you call the Murdochs! Jason, you call Sammon and Hemmer!”President Trump was almost shouting. He directed his son-in-law and his senior strategist from his private quarters at the White House late on election night. He barked out the names of top Fox News executives and talent he expected to answer to him.On Air Force One, President Trump was in a mood. He had been clear he did not want to return to Georgia, and yet somehow he'd been conscripted into another rally on the night of Jan. 4. Chinese President Xi Jinping hoped to make China a global leader in soccer, his favorite sport. After years of massive government support, that dream has so far fallen short.The big picture: China's soccer dream isn't ending, but the initial investment frenzy seems to have slowed.
