GOP speculation mounts that McCarthy will exit Congress early
Axios ^ | 11-29-23 | Juliegrace Brufke

Multiple GOP lawmakers expect former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to step down from his seat before the end of the year, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The potential exit of McCarthy — who privately told donors he is looking to "get the hell out," according to a source familiar with the conversation — could leave the House GOP with an even narrower majority.

"I have another week or so to decide because if I decide to run again, I have to know in my heart I'm giving 110%," McCarthy said at The New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday, referring to California's Dec. 8 filing deadline. "I have to know that I want to do that. I also have to know if I'm going to walk away, that I'm going to be fine with walking away. And so I'm really taking this time now," he said.

Maybe he’ll join Ryan and accelerate the demise of FOX News.

The graft must have dried up with the position.

If McCarthy gave a rip about the country, or the republican party, he would not have exited early. Is is all about him.
