Kevin McCarthy Considers Resigning from House

“Kevin McCarthy is considering resigning from the House before the end of his term,” Politico reports.

“The deposed former speaker has made clear he plans to stay at least through the speakership election that begins next week before ending his House career, these people said, in order to help the party steady itself after a seismic shakeup.”

NBC News: “McCarthy would not be the first former speaker to leave Congress before their term was over. Then-Speaker John Boehner left Congress before the end of his term after suddenly announcing his decision in September 2015 to step down.”
