Eric Cantor spends his last days on the job in New York

Monday marked Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor’s last day on the job, and he spent it in Manhattan.

Cantor was seen in town yesterday after he spent the weekend in the Hamptons, attending Saturday’s Apollo Theater benefit at Ronald Perelman’s East Hampton estate.

Cantor told us of stepping down, “This is a bittersweet moment for me,” but declined to discuss his next move.

Ironically, Cantor lost to Dave Brat in his June primary, following criticism he was spending too much time in the Hamptons.

Saturday, he was seen at the Apollo bash huddling with fellow Republicans Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. John McCain, who appeared to be giving some consolatory advice.
