Cantor has officially announced in a press conference that just ended that he’s resigning as Majority Leader effective July 31. He says he will fully back Kevin McCarthy for that position should he run.
He refused to do any political analysis as to why he lost, deferring those questions back on reporters.
I was disappointed no one asked him if he would support Dave Brat in the general or if he’s even congratulated Brat. My guess is ‘no’ on both questions, but I would have loved to hear his response.
