Wow. There have been rumors of this for months, but it’s still an earthquake when it happens.
Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan has told confidantes he is not seeking re-election and will soon announce his decision, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN Wednesday.
He is expected to address his decision in a closed-door GOP conference meeting Wednesday morning, the sources said.A source familiar told CNN that Ryan called House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy about his retirement before the news broke.Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, has been in Congress since 1999 and became House speaker in 2015.
Maybe there’s a lobbying firm that will let him work from home.
