Kevin McCarthy is officially leaving Congress.
The ousted speaker is resigning from the House at the end of the year, according to an op-ed he wrote for the Wall Street Journal, concluding a nearly two-decade congressional career long-marked by his open aspirations to the chamber’s top spot, only to lose it after nine turbulent months.
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote.
The California Republican became the first speaker in history to get ejected from the position, thanks to eight GOP lawmakers who linked arms with House Democrats. Few expected him to stay in the House as a rank-and-file member for long. Still, McCarthy is expected to remain active in party affairs, including exacting revenge against the Republican critics who helped torpedo his short-lived speakership.

Which defense company will he be on the board of directors for? I imagine the deal has already been made, that is all he was waiting for.

Santos booted by GOP, McCarthy quit, Buck is a Dem, so might as well turn it over to the Democrats. No Biden impeachment now.

Guessing he knows the non stop foreign "war" money laundering scheme is over and he wants to get paid by K street since he lost lots of clout the last few months....

Guess his ego couldn’t handle losing the Speakership. Leave it to the GOP to cut their almost non-existent majority to the quick until Jeffries, a Marxist, takes the gavel away from Johnson
