Speaker Ryan won't rule out a presidential bid — in 2020 or beyond. Jewell visit sparks speculation about Bears Ears monument. Lee ends leadership bid.

He may have emphatically ruled out a last-minute bid for the Republican nomination at a contested convention in 2016, but that does not mean that House Speaker Paul Ryan is not keeping his options open for a White House run. In 2020, or beyond, that is. "I don't think that far down the road," he said. That's not a no.
