“Retiring Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) received a parting prank gift as he heads to the congressional exits: A mini portrait to commemorate his time as speaker pro tempore,” Politico reports.
“House speakers have official portraits commissioned, but the honor is not typically granted to interim speakers — a role McHenry played for about three weeks after the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.”
