Eric Cantor has announced that he is resigning from Congress on August 18th. He called on Governor Terry McAuliffe to have a special election on Election Day in November to fill out the lame duck portion of Cantor’s term. This would give the new representative a little added seniority over next year’s freshman class. Cantor also expressed support for the man who defeated him in the Republican primary, Professor Dave Brat.
It is time for Cantor to cash in.
