Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., announcedTuesday that he will not seek re-election, once again expanding the coming congressional exodus.

McHenry said he will finish out the remainder of his term. The Republican is a close ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and served as interim-speaker in the time between McCarthy's ouster and the election of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Let’s hope that the Republican party has well-qualified candidates ready to run in these newly open seats. And conservatives at that.

ryan lead the exodus of something like 20 congressmen, which lead to the loss of the house.

Now mccarthy is going to lead to the loss of the house again.

Best bet for Republicans is for Biden to run, the other choices, simply regard timing, too early, and the replacement has to campaign in a primary, too late, and they get a candidate at the convention who is not vetted. I think a strong argument can be made for any scenario being to the advantage of Republicans if it was early, would Newsom be loyal, and stand aside? If too late, would they simply default to Harris?

He was elected in 2004.
