Kevin McCarthy drops out of race for House speaker

October 8, 2015

WASHINGTON — In a stunning move, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has withdrawn his candidacy for House Speaker.

GOP lawmakers said McCarthy told colleagues at the start of the conference Thursday that he was not the right person for the job. He recommended that the election be postponed and Speaker John Boehner delayed it.

A spokesperson for Boehner said in a statement that the outgoing speaker “will not leave before a new Speaker is in place.”

Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan quickly diffused speculation that he might jump into the race for House speaker.

“Kevin McCarthy is the best person to lead the House, and so I’m disappointed in this decision,” Ryan said in a statement. “Now it is important that we, as a conference, take time to deliberate and seek new candidates for the speakership. While I am grateful for the encouragement I’ve received, I will not be a candidate. I continue to believe I can best serve the country and this conference as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.”

At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said the Obama administration “did not get a heads-up” about McCarthy’s announcement.

On Capitol Hill, McCarthy spoke briefly to reporters, vowing he would “stay on as majority leader.”

Last week, McCarthy came under fire for suggesting the select committee investigating Benghazi was summoned to derail Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid.

“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” McCarthy said on Fox News. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers Friday? What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable. But no one would have known any of that had happened had we not fought.”

Clinton condemned those comments.

“When I hear a statement like that — which demonstrates unequivocally that this was always meant to be a partisan political exercise — I feel like it does a grave disservice and dishonors not just the memory of the four that we lost, but of everybody who has served our country,” Clinton said. “I really regret the way that they have treated this serious matter.”

Do We the People have a favorite candidate to be speaker of the house? If not, we should.

The speaker is (3rd) in line to our White House, right after the vice president.
