Louisiana GOP Rep. Vance McAllister, caught on camera kissing a married female aide, said Monday he's failed his family, let down his district and doesn't intend to run for re-election this fall.

Nah...that’s a VERY safe Republican district. We just have to make sure a true constitutional conservative gets it and not a RINO the GOPe selects.

Except he hasn’t resigned yet. Thus far he’s just not seeking reelection. If he finishes out his term, he’ll be in Congress until next January.
Today, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor called for him to resign.

He said he’ll finish the term according to the info in this
article for this thread, 4th para.
The pressure is building (as it usually does) for him to resign.
That would be expected and if it remains relentless then he’ll probably resign to get
his family some peace. I’m surprised he would put them through the media exposure.
