McMorris Rodgers won't run for GOP leadership

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) will not seek another term in leadership following the loss of the GOP majority in the House.

McMorris Rodgers will instead focus on seeking a ranking member position on one of the subpanels for the House Energy and Commerce Committee, a source close to her decision said.

The fourth-ranking House Republican would have faced a difficult challenge in retaining her position.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who has the backing of top Republicans in the House, announced a challenge to McMorris Rodgers's post earlier this week.
