Mark Meadows Won’t Seek Re-Election

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), one of President Trump’s leading congressional allies, says he won’t run for reelection, the Washington Post reports.

Playbook: “Meadows said he does not have a specific job with Trump locked down, but signaled he might try to work for his re-election campaign or in the administration.”

Asked if he would serve out the remainder of his term, Meadows said this: “At this point, I plan to serve the people of western North Carolina until it’s decided that I can best serve the president and the American people in a different capacity. And so while there’s no immediate plans, there’s certainly discussions that have occurred and potentially could occur in the future.”
