Rep. John Katko, a moderate Republican from central New York, announced his plans to retire on Friday, further highlighting the political price paid by Republicans who broke with former President Donald Trump .

Katko, who faced a primary challenge from Andrew McCarthy, a more pro-Trump Republican, is the third of 10 Republican members of the U.S. House who voted to impeach Trump after the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, to announce plans to retire.

Katko, a four-term incumbent and former federal prosecutor, was also likely to have to run for reelection in a less Republican district drawn by New Yorks Democrat-dominated state legislature. The legislature has yet to approve the new boundaries.

After 32 years of public service, I have decided not to seek re-election to Congress, so that I can enjoy my family and life in a fuller and more present way, Katko said in a statement .

McCarthy, a self-described America First Republican and an intelligence analyst at an Air Force base in Rome, New York, criticized Katkos decision to resign rather than face him in a primary.

Its a shame [Katko] quit on his people, he tweeted on Friday. I promise I fight to the death and will not let you down.

McCarthy, who is running on a nationalist platform that combines strict immigration restrictions with plans like a public health insurance option, does not yet have the backing of the biggest names in the Trump universe, to say nothing of Trump himself.

His Friday tweet did elicit praise from former Trump adviser Steve Cortes, who called McCarthys bid fantastic.
