Not just declining to run for re-election but might outright retire early.

“Rep. Mark Meadows' shock retirement — revealed just 30 hours before the filing deadline in North Carolina — has roiled some Republicans in the state who suspect he timed his announcement to benefit a friend of his wife.

The four-term congressman will depart the House for an as-yet-undefined role with President Donald Trump, a decision he disclosed in an interview with POLITICO Playbook that published around 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 19, ahead of the filing deadline at noon on Dec. 20.”

Kevin McCarthy has a lot of Parnas money, but I think he’s too dumb to retire.

The article makes it sound like he's going to take on a bigger role in the campaign. Could Trump dump Pence and make Meadows VP to try to keep NC red?

Republicans don't really care about governing, they just care about power. And once they're out of it, they don't want to participate anymore.

Yup. Meadows lost his Republican gerrymander and is facing a good challenger - a retired Air Force colonel and prosecutor at Guantanamo.
