Matt Gaetz: A Fall from Grace?

politicsFloridascandalDonald Trumpethics

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, has been accused of paying multiple women for sex, including a minor. The House Ethics Committee released a report detailing substantial evidence of these allegations. Gaetz has denied any wrongdoing. The report also found that Gaetz violated House rules by using his position for special favors and obstructing the committee's investigation. Gaetz resigned from the US House of Representatives in November 2022, after being picked by former President Donald Trump for US attorney general. The Ethics Committee's report has not been released since 2006, breaking from its long-standing practice and opening itself up to criticism. The report's release has been seen as an attempt to weaponize the committee's process.

politicsRepublicanelectionsSenateFlorida

Republican Sen. Rick Scott has won re-election to the Senate in Florida, securing a second term. The GOP has also regained control of the Senate in 2025, as projected by the Fox News Decision Desk. Scott, who previously served as Florida's governor, was challenged by Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. During his campaign, Scott also ran for Republican leader in the next Senate, facing opponents John Thune and John Cornyn. Many Democratic senators were vulnerable in the 2024 elections, making it difficult for them to hang onto the majority. The newly elected Republican senators will soon participate in a secret ballot to select the next person to control the Senate floor after Chuck Schumer.

Florida Abortion Rights Fall Short: A Summary

2024 ElectionsFloridaabortionreproductive rights

Florida Abortion Rights Fall Short:** In a setback for reproductive rights advocates, a Florida ballot measure aimed at enshrining the right to abortion has failed, according to CBS News and NBC News. The proposal, known as Amendment 4, aimed to allow abortions up to the point of foetal viability, but fell short of the required 60% threshold. The failure comes despite a majority of Florida voters supporting abortion rights in an exit poll. The six-week abortion ban that Governor Ron DeSantis put in place remains in effect. Meanwhile, a similar battle is heating up in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota, where abortion access is on the 2024 ballot. The Key Question: Will any of these states expand abortion access in 2024?
