Conservative leader Meadows will not be White House chief of staff

Source: The Hill

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) is out of the running as a candidate to become President Trump's next chief of staff, a White House official said on Wednesday.

The president discussed the position with the outgoing House Freedom Caucus chairman but told him that the administration needs him to remain in Congress, according to the official, who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Meadows later released a statement confirming the decision, saying that he is “fully committed” to continuing his service in the House.

“I’ve had the best job in the world, representing the people of western North Carolina and working alongside President Trump these last two years to give the forgotten men and women of America a voice in their government,” he said. “I know the president has a long list of tremendous candidates for his next chief of staff, and whomever it is will have my total support moving forward.”

Trump probably can't name a single person who's gone on to do greater things.

How much must you have to suck to not be good enough for this White House--especially when they have an urgent need.
