Kevin McCarthy, former chairman of the US House of Representatives, is stepping down from his post at the end of the year, eager to serve America in a new capacity, as he declared in a piece for the "Wall Street Journal." Although radical Republicans unhorsed him as Speaker of the House in a historic vote in October, McCarthy remains optimistic about his future.
After leaving his position, McCarthy intends to counsel entrepreneurs, drawing from his background as a small business owner. He believes that America's challenges are better tackled through innovation rather than legislation, a concept he expressed in his opinion piece.
It's worth noting that, despite his resignation from Congress, McCarthy hasn't shelved his involvement in political and legislative affairs entirely. He continues to act as a significant fundraiser, assisting Speaker Mike Johnson's campaign finance through the Congressional Leadership Fund [1]. Also, in the public sphere, he's shared his experiences and the reasons behind his ouster.
