GOP Lawmaker Predicts Boehner Is Done as Speaker

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) is predicting Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) won’t run for the job again and says he would be surprised if he could win re-election by the House, The Hill reports.

Said Brooks: “I don’t think John Boehner will be Speaker this time next year. But I think it’s because, in my judgment, he’s not going to run for re-election as Speaker, but if he does, I’ll be mildly surprised if he can get the 218 votes that the Constitution requires.”
