Ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy endorses Trump for president in 2024
Quick Glance: Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to Leave Congress
  • Former Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, is leaving the House of Representatives in Washington

  • McCarthy, 58, announced in a Wall Street Journal column that he will be leaving Congress after holding and then losing the role of speaker for nine months

  • His departure could hamper the party's hopes of retaining the majority next year, as he played a significant role in helping Republicans take control of the House in 2022

  • Although representing a safe Republican district in California, his departure will further narrow the already slim Republican majority early next year as Congress tries to avert a partial government shutdown in mid-January

Quick Glance: Court Preserves Trump Speech Restrictions
  • A federal appeals court has preserved most of a speech restriction on former President Donald Trump in his election interference case.

  • The appeals court ruling preserves the restrictions on Trump and other parties in the case from disparaging likely witnesses in the election interference case because of their expected testimony.

  • The court stated that Trump does not enjoy unfettered rights to free speech like other criminal defendants.
