Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) submitted his official resignation from Congress on Tuesday, effective Dec. 31.
“It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent the great people and communities of Kern, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, Tulare, Fresno, and Kings counties over the past 17 years — and especially my hometown of Bakersfield in the central valley of the great state of California,” McCarthy said in a communication to the House, read by the House reading clerk.
McCarthy, who made history as the first Speaker to be formally removed from the post, announced his coming resignation earlier this month, just before California’s deadline to file for reelection.
He said he plans to stay involved in recruiting and mentoring candidates.
With his official resignation, it is possible the already razor-thin House majority could shrink to two members in the coming months, depending on the timing of other planned resignations and special elections.

Bye bitch. You were crap and won’t be missed.
lol bye
Do the new mainstream Republicans (i.e., bigots and fascists) or the Dems hate him more, I wonder? He repeatedly broke his word and betrayed the trust of everyone on his quest for glory, and didn’t even ultimately get to claim the glory.
Better the devil you know, I think McCarthy was more convenient for democrats than Mike Johnson, and that pissed off fascists whose careers will be just as short.
Kevin finally handed in his too weak notice.
Why hang around and be even more useless these extra 10+ days? You were/are an ineffective douchenozzle and a waste of everyone’s time. Go. Leave. Right. Now.
This piece of shit represented SLO?
Makes sense. I’ve never seen such a modern sundown town. Happiest town in America as long as you’re white and rich.
I did notice a lot of walls in bad shape though, could definitely use some fresh coats of paint over there.
“You can’t fire me, cause I QUIT!”
