Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced he would finish out his term and run for reelection in 2024 despite rumors he may resign early after his removal from the No. 1 leadership position.
“No, I’m not resigning. I’m staying, so don’t worry,” McCarthy told reporters on Friday. “We’re going to keep the majority. I’m going to help the people I got here, and we’re going to expand it.”
