Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has announced his resignation from Congress, effective at the end of the year.
The decision follows his unprecedented ouster from the speakership two months ago. While McCarthy's departure demonstrates the stranglehold MAGA extremists have on the Republican Party, it also reduces their already historically slim majority in the House.
With Santos being expelled, the GOP is dealing with a precariously low vote threshold. Their sham impeachment proceeding and extremist agenda may be effectively stifled for the moment, but we've seen what's in store if they pickup seats in 2024.
