Ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will not make another run for speaker, Politico reported late on Tuesday, citing sources. Newsmax has confirmed this with a GOP source.
Addressing a closed session of Republican lawmakers, he reportedly had this to say:
"I got to be the 55th speaker -- my goal has been to save the country. I love a lot of you -- i saw your kids grow up. ... Those who stuck with me ill never forget it. I want you to all go home and see your family."
