“Speaker Ryan just told the world that Republicans are going to lose the House in November and I couldn’t agree more.“
Columbia, SC – The South Carolina Democratic Party released the following statement in response to Speaker Paul Ryan’s abrupt resignation on Wednesday morning:
“The Speaker looked at his reelection prospects after selling out the American taxpayers to his campaign contributors and decided to opt for an abrupt retirement instead,” said South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Trav Robertson. “He knows the Democrats are going to win not only his district, but the majority in the House, and that his replacement is going to be a Democrat. The chief fundraiser for the Republicans just quit and every Republican in South Carolina from Mark Sanford to Tom Rice ought to be scared. He’s given our great candidates here at home plenty to run with a legacy that ties trillion dollar deficits with cuts to essential services that all Americans rely on. While Speaker Ryan is running back to Wisconsin with his tail between his legs, we’re looking forward to sending Congressman Clyburn back to Washington in November with a few more Democratic colleagues from South Carolina. Speaker Ryan just told the world that Republicans are going to lose the House in November and I couldn’t agree more.”
