Speaker’s Office Denies Rumor He’s Resigning

“A backbench Republican sparked the latest round of speculation Monday about Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s future by suggesting other GOP lawmakers were bracing for the Wisconsin Republican to resign from office this spring. The suggestion, offered as ‘rumor mill’ by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), drew an immediate dismissal from Ryan’s office,” the Washington Post reports.

Said a spokesperson: “The speaker is not resigning.”
