Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser, will resign from Congress on Jan. 20, a source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner.

The Florida government announced its timeline to replace Waltz on Monday, scheduling the general election for April 1. That’s the same day the state will hold its election to replace former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who resigned earlier this month to pursue his unsuccessful nomination as Trump’s next attorney general.
