UPDATE: The Office of Paul Ryan denies the House Speaker will resign soon.

Paul Ryan’s spokesperson is denying a claim by Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., that the speaker is resigning soon according to a Capitol Hill “rumor.” Spokesperson AshLee Strong said Ryan, R-Wis., isn’t going anywhere. “The Speaker is not resigning,” Strong told the Washington Examiner in a statement.

Ryan’s office did not respond to The Gateway Pundit’s request for comment.

Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) revealed on Nevada Newsmakers Monday that House Speaker Paul Ryan is rumored to be resigning in the very near future.

RGJ reports:

Amodei said he was repeating a rumor that’s around Capitol Hill. “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 said. […] Scalise, from Louisiana’s 1st U.S. House District, is currently the House majority whip, responsible for rounding up votes on various bills and issues. In June of 2017, he was shot during practice for the congressional baseball team in Virginia. He survived after being in critical condition and returned to Congress in late September of 2017.

“Now that is interesting because nobody has talked to members (of the U.S. House) on how they are going to vote (on new leadership),” the Congressman said.

“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.”

This isn’t the first time Ryan has been the subject of retirement rumors.

Last December, POLITICO reported the Wisconsin lawmaker is set to leave Washington after the 2018 midterm elections.
