Hey peeps, help me with this: with Matt Gaetz not taking the oath for the incoming Congress, there's going to be a special election, right? Is that within the GOP or are the Democrats in play to take his seat?

I think he won reelection so I'm guessing his seat will be vacant till he's sworn in.

@LindaWisner but he's already said he wouldn't. He's not taking the oath. He won't be in Congress. So that leaves his seat empty.

@Liliki
Have to see what state does I guess.
He resigned current seat.

For some reason, that I can't quite remember the source, I think you need to be sworn in before you can resign. So new term?

Maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

@LindaWisner I'm hoping that New Jersey paper was right and that he won't take the oath.
