Still Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
On Thursday, Speaker-in-Waiting Kevin McCarthy pulled the plug on his bid to become Speaker-For-Real. McCarthy quickly announced that he would not be resigning from the House of Representatives and
would stay on as majority leader. McCarthy's Bakersfield seat is safely red and no notable Republicans have ever tried to challenge him, and that's unlikely to change even after this debacle.
Of course, it's always possible that McCarthy changes his mind and exits the House a bit earlier than planned. It's probably not going to be fun for McCarthy to try and enforce order among his chaotic caucus when he knows that his path to becoming speaker has been blocked by his own loose lips. It's also possible that McCarthy will find he can't do his job as majority leader as effectively now that he's embarrassed himself so badly, and that he'll leave the House for greener pastures.
This is a very chaotic situation and it's possible McCarthy doesn't yet know what he's going to do long-term (his initial statement didn't say anything about his 2016 re-election plans). In any case, if McCarthy decides to tell the House, "Screw you guys, I'm going home," there will be no shortage of Bakersfield-area Republicans eyeing his seat.
