House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) reportedly reassured a group of his closest associates Thursday that he intends to run for re-election, multiple sources told Politico.
He urged the group – which included some of his closest K Street allies – to ignore rumors about his impending retirement. They are wrong, he told the group. He wants to remain in Washington for another two years.
The rumors are real, and they’re bouncing from Capitol Hill to K Street. When Boehner might retire has become a favorite parlor game on Capitol Hill. It’s been a brutal fear years for Boehner and the House GOP conference.
