There will be no 2016 presidential campaign for Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican told the Journal Sentinel Monday, saying he wants to devote his undivided attention to his new and influential role as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
“I am where I am. I like where I am,” Ryan said in an interview Monday. “I feel like I can have a huge impact on the course of the debate in this country.”
Ryan’s decision removes one big name from a very long list of potential GOP candidates and provides a little more space in the race for fellow Wisconsinite Scott Walker, the second-term governor who appears to be increasingly serious about running for president in 2016.
