“You can’t lead people where they don’t want to go,” MacArthur said in an interview with POLITICO New Jersey Tuesday morning. “I think some people in the group just have a different view of what governing is.”

MacArthur announced his resignation as co-chairman moments ago during the group’s regular Tuesday meeting in Washington. He said he alerted House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday.
