(Worthy News) – House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Wednesday that he will retire from the House at the end of this year, closing out a two-decade career in Congress and igniting soul-searching in a party bracing for a rough election season.

He vowed to be an active lame-duck speaker as he serves out his term, pushing for spending controls and the rest of the Republican agenda. [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
