Matt Gaetz, who resigned from the 118th Congress, could potentially return to the House as a congressman in January 2025. He was elected to serve in the 119th Congress, but his recent resignation letter indicated that he did not intend to serve in the upcoming session. There is uncertainty regarding whether his resignation applies solely to the current session or also affects his position in the new Congress. Gaetz's situation raises questions about the implications of his resignation and whether he can reclaim his seat, given that he was duly elected for another term representing Florida's 1st District, which begins on January 3, 2025.
