Boehner dismisses far-right replacement for Ryan: 'They know they cant win'
Former House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in a new interview dismissed the possibility that a member of the deeply conservative House Freedom Caucus could replace Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who announced his retirement on Wednesday.
"They know they can't win," Boehner told The Columbus Dispatch. "So I'm sure that's not going to happen."
Boehner, who retired from Congress in October of 2015, said he thinks House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is "in the No. 1 spot" to succeed Ryan. McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) are both viewed as leading contenders for the speakership if Republicans keep the House.
Meanwhile, House Freedom Caucus Co-Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told reporters on Wednesday that the race for Ryan's replacement will be "decided" before the November elections.
