CableZL 10/06/23 3:40:11 PM #1:	https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/06/kevin-mccarthy-considers-resigning-congress-00120381 Kevin McCarthy is considering resigning from the House before the end of his term, two people familiar with the matter told POLITICO. The deposed former speaker has made clear he plans to stay at least through the speakership election that begins next week before ending his House career, these people said, in order to help the party steady itself after a seismic shakeup. In a closed-door meeting with his conference, hours after eight House Republicans united with Democrats to strip him of the gavel, the Californian signaled that he wanted to return home. Im going to spend time with my family, he said, though the remarks were largely drowned out by lawmakers shouting, according to Republicans familiar with the meeting.
