Kevin McCarthy retiring from Congress after being ousted as House speaker

ABC: Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from his role by a faction of his own party earlier this year, will retire from Congress at the end of the month, he said on Wednesday.

“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways,” McCarthy wrote in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal. “I know my work is only getting started.”

  1. I don’t know whether they will have a special election given the timing. There is one for Feinstein’s seat but the runoff is November, which for a House seat is just the normal election.
    NBC story suggested that the seat will easily remain red.

  2. Wow. RINO “Ken Doll” McCarthy is really having a serious temper tantrum. After he leaves Congress he’s going to find a way to get revenge for being rejected as Speaker.
    Guess he will soon join Liz Cheney’s “Trump Haters Club” media tour. What a prick.

  3. He knocked off George Santos on his way out. I guess will take some satisfaction from that.

    BTW, is McCarthy of of the 10 RINOs that Santos is filing ethics charges against? Almost has to be, right?

  5. laugh all you want but this cretin will now make a million a year in book deals and speaking gigs and the obligatory lobby work as well. He will do even less than he did now and get filthy rich off it as well……

  6. RINO has been outed, so no support from his fan base.
    Biden impeachment trials will go on until the next big thing comes along.
    Speaker Johnson is just the pacifier soundbite for the day.
    He’ll walk with his cash, just like Obama’s and Clinton’s already have.
