Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Kevin McCarthy on Time in Congress: ‘We Did the Right Thing'” – below is their description.
Republican Kevin McCarthy, whose brief and tumultuous turn leading the US House culminated in the first voted ouster of a speaker, said Wednesday he will resign from Congress at the end of the year.
“I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways,” he wrote in the Wall Street Journal. “I know my work is only getting started.”
The 58-year-old California Republican styled himself as part of an emerging generation of “Young Gun” conservative leaders when Tea Party Republicans swept into power in 2010. Yet by the time he realized his ambition to become speaker McCarthy was viewed suspiciously by an ascendant populist right aligned with Donald Trump.
