Paul Ryan has said he didn’t want the job, but now he is reported to be privately claiming interest.

Ryan informed several members on the House floor of his deliberations, Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, told CNN. Stewart added that he urged Ryan to run, with the Wisconsin Republican replaying that he was “thinking and praying on it.”

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who shocked Capitol Hill by deciding Thursday not to try and succeed retiring Speaker John Boehner, also said Ryan is weighing a run.

“Paul’s looking at it but it’s his decision,” McCarthy said on CNN. “If he decides to do it, he’ll be an amazing speaker but he’s got to decide on his own.”

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, said that Ryan told him privately he is thinking about it as well. “I think he’s gone from a hard no to he knows he has to consider it,” he said.

    Brendan Buck,
    “Chairman Ryan appreciates the support he’s getting from his colleagues but is still not running for Speaker.”

    I wish he’d take the job. It would end his House career, certainly stop him from getting any further in his quest toward the White House.
