Ryan plans to announce decision on Senate run 'very quickly'
U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan said on CNN’s “State of the Union with Candy Crowley” that he could decide this week whether to run for the Senate.
Crowley asked Ryan, R-Janesville, on yesterday’s show whether he’d be willing to give up his spot as House Budget chair to run for the Senate.
“Well, Herb just announced this Friday,” Ryan said. “It was a bit of a surprise to all of us. And so my family to voters we just started digesting this. I plan on making an announcement very quickly. I don't want to dwindle on this but we're just beginning to process this information.”
Also on the show, Ryan pushed back against a suggestion from Dems that his speech today before the Economic Club of Chicago was part of a “do-over tour” to recast his controversial proposal to revamp entitlement programs.
