Loss of Ryan Hits Hard for House Republicans

4/12/2018

 
"Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) decision to retire from Congress has set off more alarm bells for Republicans worried about whether they can hold the House in the midterm elections. 
The ripple effects of Ryan’s announcement will not be clear for months. But in the early hours after the news broke, some Republicans framed the news as both the latest sign that Republicans are headed for the minority as well as a spark that could set off more GOP retirements. 
“It’s just another illustration of the harbinger of things to come. There’s no Republican who’s optimistic about the November elections,” said Terry Sullivan, a GOP strategist who ran Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) presidential campaign. “It’s the 300th example that there is a wave coming.” 
Ryan’s retirement had been rumored for months, but the Speaker’s Wednesday announcement caught most in Washington off guard."
