Republican Rep. Mark Meadows, one of President Trump's most visible allies on Capitol Hill, is not seeking reelection in 2020, he announced in a statement Thursday.
"After prayerful consideration and discussion with family, today I'm announcing that my time serving Western North Carolina in Congress will come to a close at the end of this term," Meadows said in a statement.

"Meadows is open to a role in the Trump administration, but nothing has been finalized, the source told CNN, adding that he had been thinking about not seeking reelection for awhile.Read MoreLast year, Meadows was considered for the role of White House chief of staff, but the"President told him we need him in Congress so he can continue the great work he is doing there," then-White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
