Booted from Congress, Eric Cantor shops for Wall Street gig

This might explain why Eric Cantor has been spending so much time in the Hamptons.

The former House majority leader is shopping around for a Wall Street job, sources tell Page Six.

We’re told that while the former Virginia congressman is still getting over the shock of losing his primary to a largely unknown challenger in June, “he is meeting with a lot of people in finance, and is likely to affiliate with a financial firm.”

Cantor — who was criticized for spending too much time in the Hamptons — has kept quiet about his next move. There are rumors he would join Mark Rachesky’s MHR Fund Management, but a rep for the Lions Gate Entertainment chairman said he and Cantor are friends, but are not working together.
