Priebus says he's not running for Ryan's Wisconsin seat

By CRISTIANO LIMA 04/12/2018 10:30 AM EDT

Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said Thursday he will not run to replace House Speaker Paul Ryan in their native state of Wisconsin — but he declined to rule out running for public office in the future.

The former White House official and Republican National Committee chairman — who was born in New Jersey but grew up in Ryan’s congressional district in Wisconsin — told WISN talk-show host Jay Weber that he’s “always interested in serving, but the timing for me couldn’t be worse.”

Priebus said it was “great” to rejoin his former law firm, the Wisconsin-based Michael Best and Friedrich LLP, and that he was in no rush to reenter public life.

“Being a little separated from the daily political grind has been unbelievable, so the answer is no,” Priebus told Weber when asked about running to replace Ryan, who announced Wednesday he will not seek reelection to Congress.

And, given our Supreme Court election recently, nobody of merit wants to love to a Dem. They are just biding their time until the idiot is out of the WH.
