McCarthy Says He’s Undecided About Reelection Bid

Roll Call reports:

“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 ran for a tenth 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.

In a room full of potential employers (as @andrewrsorkin noted) @SpeakerMcCarthy says he has not yet decided on whether to seek reelection. Filing deadline just over a week.https://t.co/epjzBcyCaC
