House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Wednesday morning that he would not seek re-election in November, after nearly 20 years in Congress.

Ryan will serve the remainder of his term, and he told reporters he would remain as speaker through that period. “We all know that I did not seek this job. I took it reluctantly,” said Ryan, but, “I have no regret whatsoever for accepting this responsibility. This has been one of the two greatest honors of my life.”
