NEW: Former FL Congressman Matt Gaetz is expected to join One America News Network as an anchor, a source familiar tells CNN.
Last month, Gaetz withdrew his name to serve as AG after Trump told him he didn’t have the votes in the senate.

The move marks a significant shift for the outspoken Florida Republican, who stepped down from Congress in November 2024 following President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of him for the role of Attorney General.

Gaetz initially accepted the nomination, but he later withdrew his name from consideration, citing the contentious nature of the confirmation process as a potential distraction.

“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,” Gaetz said at the time.

“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.”

Gaetz’s transition from politics to media follows a tumultuous career in Congress, where he built a reputation as one of Trump’s most vocal supporters.

His new role at OANN is expected to amplify his platform as he steps into a broadcasting position for the conservative-leaning network.

Details regarding the content and format of The Matt Gaetz Show remain under wraps.

However, based on OANN’s promotional materials, the program will likely align with the network’s focus on conservative viewpoints and coverage of political developments from a right-leaning perspective.

Gaetz’s departure from Congress and subsequent entry into media come during a period of heightened political activity in Washington as President-elect Trump prepares to assume office in January.

Gaetz’s transition to OANN highlights the growing trend of political figures utilizing their influence to make waves in the media landscape.

OANN has not yet announced an official premiere date for Gaetz’s show.

Additional details about his role at the network are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
