Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz wrote in an op-ed Wednesday that only former President Donald Trump can carry the America First agenda forward in 2024.
"The job President Trump started was not finished. Only Trump can be trusted to enact the ‘America First’ agenda he ran on in 2016. We won’t accept any imitation," Gaetz wrote.

The Freedom Caucus lawmaker called out GOP establishment figures like former House Speaker Paul Ryan and billionaire mega-donor Ken Griffin, who have each said they would support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if he runs in the 2024 presidential primary. Griffin told Politico in an interview last week, "I think it's time to move on to the next generation," and Ryan said Wednesday that Trump is a "drag on our ticket" that contributed to disappointing results for Republicans in the midterms.
