Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Wednesday he had yet to decide whether to run for reelection to the House, nine days ahead of California’s filing deadline.
“It’s a serious decision to make, and I have another week or so to decide because if I decide to run again, I have to know in my heart I’m giving 110 percent. I have to know that I want to do that,” McCarthy said in New York. “I also have to know, if I’m going to walk away, that I’m going to be fine with walking away.”
McCarthy, speaking at The New York Times DealBook Summit at Lincoln Center, said he would remain engaged in Washington regardless of whether or not he runs for a 10th term as a representative after his ouster as speaker earlier in 2023. That led moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin to comment that members of the largely business audience at Wednesday’s event might be interested in hiring him.
