Republicans wonder who will fill Ryan’s shoes

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul Ryan’s decision to leave Congress at the end of the year touched off immediate speculation Wednesday about who will replace him as the Republican leader — and about what it means for President Trump and Democratic hopes to retake the House in the coming midterms.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is regarded as the logical choice. He is close to Trump, having courted the president longer than most other high-profile Republicans. The two get along well and
talk often.

But the Californian has historically been viewed suspiciously by the most conservative members of Congress.

Ryan was a rather reluctant Trump supporter. What will the next one be like? What do you think?
