WASHINGTON — Representative Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican, will resign his leadership position within weeks, according to leadership aides. The move follows a stunning defeat in a primary election Tuesday in which voters rejected him in favor of a more conservative candidate.

Im surprised. I would have expected him to serve out the term.

Gotta get a new guy established before the fall.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I expect Kevin Mccarthy to replace him. The only question is who will become the Whip...but no one really cares that much about that position.

It'll be very funny because with Mccarthy as Majority leader and Pelosi as Minority leader BOTH Majority and Minority leaders will be from California! Lol!
