SIAP: Former speaker Kevin McCarthy will retire from Congress at end of year

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the former House speaker who was ousted from his position in October in a revolt by hard-right members, will not seek reelection to his congressional seat and retire from Congress at the end of this month, he announced Wednesday.
quote:
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways,” McCarthy said in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. “I know my work is only getting started.”
McCarthy’s retirement will bring to an end a 16-year House career that saw him quickly rise through the ranks of Republican leadership, culminating with his stint as speaker. His ouster marked the first time in history that the House voted to remove its leader, a move that threw the chamber into a period of instability.

Much easier to screw the country over from behind the scenes.

Good. Following his loser GOPe friends Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan into lobbyland. He won't be missed - except by the uniparty whiners.

Damn shame... He needs to encourage about 95% of the rest of Congress to retire with him...

Should be the statement on the Wikipedia page of every member that ever served in the House

With the district boundaries being what they are you will get another Republican with a good chance of an America First type. This will be a benefit in the House.

No more hope of real power so he’s leaving for easy money

Good riddance, never to return. No doubt he will continue to screw the right (and America) in other non transparent, Rino ways through a lobby or board position.

He'll be an anti-Trump talking head just like Kinzinger and Cheney and Romney.

This is an attempt to prevent Republicans from having a majority (or enough of a majority to govern).
