California Rep. Devin Nunes will resign to head up Trump media company

Rep. Devin Nunes' 10th term in Congress will be his last as the California Republican announced Monday that he will retire at the end of the year to lead the media company being started by former President Donald Trump.

Nunes will leave the U.S. House, after being "presented with a new opportunity to fight for the most important issues I believe in," he said in a statement on Instagram.

Trump Media & Technology Group announced Monday that Nunes will be its CEO.

“I will deeply miss being your congressman. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to represent you, and I thank you for the trust you put in me through all these years," Nunes stated on Instagram.

Nunes represents California's 22nd Congressional District which covers Tulare and Fresno counties in the Republican-leaning San Joaquin Valley. He assured his supporters that he does not plan to disappear from the public eye.

“Rest assured, I have not, by any means, given up our collective fight — I'll just be pursuing it through other means," Nunes' statement read.

The former president, who is chairman of TMTG, called Nunes "a fighter and a leader."

"Devin understands that we must stop the liberal media and Big Tech from destroying the freedoms that make America great. America is ready for TRUTH Social and the end to censorship and political discrimination," Trump said in a news release on Monday.
