WASHINGTON: Former US House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy is expected to step down from
Congress
before the end of his term, CNN reported on Friday, citing sources, adding he planned to stay at least through the speakership election to begin next week.
McCarthy does not plan to get involved in the race for a new speaker, CNN reported. McCarthy became the first
House speaker
in US history to be ousted from the top congressional post on Tuesday.
His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
