Matt Gaetz has Republican Challenger
Former Naval Aviator Aaron Dimmock filed to run in the Republican primary against Matt Gaetz in Florida's 1st Congressional district on the very last day of the deadline. He is rumored to be backed by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his allies.
McCarthy has been on a revenge tour targeting the small band of Republican rebels who voted to oust him from the Speakership, and there is nobody McCarthy would like to take out more than their ringleader Matt Gaetz. Their feud has been nasty and well-publicized, with McCarthy alleging that Gaetz only wanted to oust him because he refused to halt the Ethics Committee investigation into Gaetz allegedly paying for sex from an underaged girl.
McCarthy is also openly backing a primary challenger to Nancy Mace, who joined Gaetz as a leader of the movement to topple McCarthy. Mace posted a video attacking McCarthy where she said he was "a bitter mean-girl on a revenge tour." McCarthy responded that Mace needs to "seek help" for psychiatric issues.
