Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is denying reports that he is expected to step down from Congress before the end of his term – telling reporters on Friday that he still has “work to do,” after sending signals in private conversations that he could step down early from Congress.
“No, I am not resigning,” he told reporters.
“I am not resigning” isn’t the same as “I’m not leaving”

What about reports that he’s a bitch?
Kevin McCarthy is a female dog?
“I am not a crook…”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is denying reports that he is expected to step down from Congress before the end of his term – telling reporters on Friday that he still has “work to do,” after sending signals in private conversations that he could step down early from Congress.
Earlier Friday, multiple sources familiar with McCarthy’s thinking told CNN that he was expected to step down at some point after the House speaker’s election.
Pressed on whether he has considered stepping down early, he said, “I look at it every time I have to decide whether I am going to run for reelection or not.”
After the House voted to oust McCarthy, the California Republican did not say whether he would remain in Congress.
Following the vote, McCarthy opted not to run again for the gavel, setting off a race for a new speaker.
On Friday, McCarthy added that he has talked to both Scalise and Jordan but would not endorse anyone when pressed.
