Ryan denies retirement reports
[THEHILL] Speaker Paul Ryan...Speaker of the House, U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... (R-Wis.) says he’s not quitting Congress anytime soon. Asked at the end of his weekly presser whether he was leaving Congress "soon," Ryan chuckled and replied as he walked off the stage: "I’m not, no." Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Ryan ‐ who this October marked his second year in the Speaker’s office ‐ could resign from Congress shortly after passing his No. 1 legislative priority: tax reform. The House and Senate are expected to pass a final version of their historic tax-cuts bill next week, with President Trump planning to sign it into law by Christmas Day. In early November, a number of Ryan’s GOP colleagues told The Hill that the Speaker could pass tax reform and quickly quit Congress, choosing to go out on top with a victory rather than wait to be forced out like his predecessor, Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!'Boehner ... the occasionally weepy former establishmentarian leader of House Republicans... (R-Ohio). Posted by: Fred 2017-12-16 |
