The talk in Washington today is that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is close to stepping out the door. Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) spoke with a local news station and said that “rumor” is that Ryan will soon resign.

“The rumor mill is that Paul Ryan is getting ready to resign in the next 30 to 60 days and that Steve Scalise will be the new Speaker,” Amodei told Nevada Newsmakers, referring to the Majority Whip.

“Now this is interesting because no one has talked to members on how they are going to vote,” he added. “Now, maybe they have talked to all of the members but me. I don’t know, so that is the rumor mill from last week.’

Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong denied the rumors and said: “the speaker is not resigning.” But Ryan did announce that he and his wife will be discussing his options before the end of Spring.

“If I was just guessing, he wanted to do the tax-cut bill,” Amodei said, when pressed on why Ryan would decide to leave now. “You know, [former Speaker John Boehner] said the same thing: ‘Hey, I checked all of the boxes I thought were important and I’m moving on to whatever else.'”
