Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will host a new primetime TV program for One America News Network (Right bias) following his withdrawal from President-elect Trump’s attorney general nomination.

Media Matt: The Matt Gaetz Show will air every weeknight at 9 p.m. Eastern beginning in January. Gaetz will also co-host a podcast with OAN’s Dan Ball. OAN said the podcast will “deliver fresh perspectives and unfiltered conversations tailored for Millennials, late Gen Z, and early Gen Xers.”

Second Job?: A day after the news about Gaetz’s OAN role broke, Politico (Lean Left bias) reported that Democratic megadonor John Morgan is actively in talks with Gaetz to join his law firm, Morgan & Morgan. Morgan praised Gaetz’s positions on marijuana legalization, processed foods, and property insurance. Gaetz told Politico he has known Morgan for over a decade and has “taken a lot of advice from him on matters of law, policy and politics.”

For Context: Gaetz withdrew from political office to accept Trump’s attorney general nomination. He then withdrew from attorney general contention after it became clear he would not receive support from a majority of Senators. Upon being nominated, several Republican senators pushed back on the pick, and some commentators described him as an outlier from traditional Republican orthodoxies. His nomination was also plagued by allegations of unethical conduct, including sex with a minor and drug use, which led to a report by the House Ethics Committee that has not been made fully public. 

How the Media Covered It: Gaetz’s joining OAN was covered across the spectrum. The dialogue between Morgan and Gaetz was reported in a Politico interview. Raw Story (Left bias) also picked up Politico’s report.
