fox business's hilary vaughn live on capitol hill. hilary, run it down.? >> reporter: larry, former speaker kevin mccarthy hinted this might be coming. he said there would be a decision made in december with whether he was going to decide whether or not he would run for re-election. but today, "wall street journal" op-ed he made it official he is leaving washington, not running for re-election. this decision follows mccarthy's dramatic ouster where a few republicans joined democrats to fire mccarthy from his job as speaker. mccarthy is not leaving the fight, starting to get republicans electing the majority, he is leaving republicans with a slimmer majority. now republicans can only lose three republican votes to get any of their agenda passed on the floor, a predictment that means republicans who fired mccarthy as speaker because he had to work with democrats may have made working with democrats a requirement on the house floor. things have gotten trickier for republicans. larry: hilary vaughn, how ironic. thank you so much for running that down, we appr
