Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) recently quit his job for a position he seems unlikely to get. The pro-Trump congressman resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives last week after President-elect Donald Trump nominated him to be the next attorney general. He may be looking forward to his new position, but he just set himself up to be the next Bill Weld.
Weld was a popular Massachusetts governor during the 1990s who grew bored with the job. Even though he won reelection in 1994 with over 70% of the vote, he unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Senate in 1996, losing to incumbent Sen. John Kerry (D-MA).
