After resigning from Congress and turning down the nomination for Attorney General, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is reportedly joining One America News (OAN) for a cable news show.
A report from CNN’s Kristen Holmes says Gaetz is preparing to announce he is joining the cable news channel for a new program simply dubbed The Matt Gaetz Show.
The network has declined to comment on any potential developments, but a show page exists on the channel’s website promoting that a show from Gatez is “coming soon.”
The program is expected to be slotted into the 9 PM ET timeslot, with a launch date in January.
Matt Gaetz resigned from his post in Congress amid the release of an investigation into potential sexual misconduct with minors. He was tabbed as the nominee for Attorney General by Donald Trump after winning victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
However, after intense public pushback — from both sides of the political aisle — Gaetz subsequently shared he would not seek confirmation and also resigned from the current and incoming Congress after winning re-election himself.
A cable news future would not be out of the realm of possibility for Gaetz. He has previously guest-hosted a primetime program on Newsmax, leading many to openly question whether or not he was interested in a post-political media career.
OAN has at times professed itself to be one of the most ardent supporters of Donald Trump. The network was founded in 2013. At its height, it was available in roughly 35 million homes. However, that figure has dwindled dramatically in recent years as it is no longer has distribution on DirecTV.
