Boehner Signals He’s Not Retiring

Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) “is donating more than $1 million to the House Republican campaign fund this week, a total that suggests he is consolidating power in the House, not planning for retirement,” USA Today reports.

“All told, Boehner has helped raise $88 million for Republicans for the 2014 campaign. The tally includes contributions from his three fundraising committees as well as direct mail, online solicitations, headlining member fundraising events, and coordinated fundraisers with the Republican National Committee and state parties. The breadth and pace of Boehner’s fundraising runs counter to speculation in recent months that he is mulling retirement.”
