Kevin McCarthy retiring from Congress after being ousted as House speaker

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from his role by a faction of his own party earlier this year, will retire from Congress at the end of the month, he said on Wednesday.

"I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways," McCarthy wrote in an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal. "I know my work is only getting started."
