He just tweeted

quote:

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback - and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I'm certain he will Save America.

Hopefully the Missouri AG is the next pick. Andrew Bailey.

He resigned his current seat. Not the seat that begins in January!

He resigned. He probably will have to run in the special election for his vacancy in order to return to the House.

Hopefully this is the product of a good deal struck by Trump to efficiently get his guys in rather than anything specific on the Gaetz controversy front.

I think that's probably the case
