Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The incumbent Gaetz defeated his opponent, Aaron Dimmock, by more than 40 points, despite a cascade of spending against him by allies of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was eager to exact revenge against the eight Republicans, led by Gaetz, who orchestrated his ouster last year.
Of all the lawmakers who voted to oust McCarthy, Gaetz was his big fish, but he was not the only member whom the former speaker tried to unseat. Reps. Eli Crane , Nancy Mace , and Bob Good all faced well-funded challengers backed by McCarthy. Ultimately, only Good lost by a razor-thin margin, in no small part because former President Donald Trump endorsed his McCarthy-supported opponent.
McCarthy seemed to concede in recent weeks that Gaetz was likely to prevail, but the former speaker indicated that he believed that his effort would at least dent the congressman’s support and damage Gaetz’s prospects for a gubernatorial bid in 2026. If anything, he is now in a stronger position to run for governor in two years than he was on Monday.
