Matt Gaetz faced insurmountable opposition from at least four GOP senators regarding his attorney general nomination, leading him to withdraw before a lengthy confirmation battle ensued.
Gaetz expressed that his initial momentum was strong, but the distractions related to his confirmation process were not conducive to the mission of the Trump administration.
He acknowledged that while he appreciated the 'thoughtful feedback' and 'incredible support' he received during his meetings with senators, the nomination became a distraction from the critical work ahead.
Gaetz emphasized his commitment to supporting Trump, claiming he would be honored to lead the Department of Justice, despite stepping back from the nomination.
