Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) announced Wednesday that he plans to leave Congress by the end of the year.
On Wednesday afternoon, an op-ed by McCarthy featured in the Wall Street Journal revealed that the ousted former speaker will be stepping away from the House to pursue a “passion in a new arena.”
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started,” McCarthy wrote.
He noted that he plans to continue “to recruit our country’s best and brightest to run for elected office.”
