Kevin McCarthy told reporters late Friday afternoon that he is not leaving Congress, and will run for re-election next year, pushing back on a Politico report that said he was “considering” retiring before the end of his term.

“I’m staying, so don’t worry,” the now more relaxed former Speaker, who was ousted just three days ago, told reporters as he stood near a sign that reads: “Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.”

Asked to confirm he is not only not leaving Congress but will run for re-election, McCarthy said “yes.”

“We’re gonna keep the majority. I’m gonna help the people I got here and we’re gonna expand it,” he said.
