Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will deliver a speech on Capitol Hill on Wednesday about the "state of American politics."
Ryan's office did not offer details about the contents of the speech or say if it will be related to the presidential race. The Speaker has weighed in on the contentious GOP presidential primary on only a few occasions. Without explicitly mentioning Donald Trump by name, Ryan has condemned the Republican front-runner's call for banning Muslims from entering the country and failure to immediately disavow support from the Ku Klux Klan, and he urged Trump to take responsibility for violence at some of his campaign rallies.
Some in the party have suggested the Speaker as a possible presidential candidate who could unify Republicans at a contested convention this summer. Ryan, however, has repeatedly shot down that notion.
Nonetheless, Tuesday's announcement that he will deliver the speech immediately fueled facetious speculation among some political commentators on Twitter that Ryan will announce he's running for president.
"You guys are funny," Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck tweeted.
The 11 a.m. address will take place in the House Ways and Means Committee room, the panel that Ryan chaired until he was recruited to replace former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) last year.

FUPR.
Didn’t we have one of these speeches from Romney?
Couldn't happen fast enough now. Will Ryan rethink his position after what happened this morning? Doubtful.
Gee what a thrill! /sarc I will be sure to miss that; definitely must-miss TV.
....another GOPe lacky boy, suck that teat lacky boy POS
IF he is smart, he’ll announce that he is working on getting his fellow Republicans on the Hill to rally around Trump and close ranks in order to beat Hillary in November.
Of course he won’t; you can’t fix stupid and delusional.
Did he give a speech on the state of American politics when Obama was telling his supporters to get into the Republicans’ faces and to bring a gun to a knife fight? Did he give a speech on the state of American politics when the Obama White House was coordinating with the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter thugs to get them to use Brownshirt tactics to impact the political debate? Those were real problems with American politics. If Ryan is too stupid to understand that Black Lives Matter and other Lib groups are deliberately provoking Trump supporters into confrontations that are then amplified into a false MSM narrative, he’s useless.
He’s probably got more than one speech prepared depending on what happens in the AZ and UT tonight.
If he jumps in, he needs to be escorted the eff out of our country.
I don’t think he’ll get into the race. He’ll just trot out some more anti-Trump talking points that continue to drive people into the Trump camp. More and more people are picking up on the GOPe agenda with each person they trot out in support of the #NeverTrumps.
Also, the Batman and Robin pic is friggin’ hilarious! :D
Is Paul Ryno going to tout his first big act as Speaker, ramming through a budget that ticked every single box on the democrat wish list and drove our nation even further down into the quicksand of debt?
The GOP are the outcast losers.
Oh. Is Eld al-Adha over already? His beard is gone.
Why comment on the State of American Politics when the answer is clear:
People want Trump as the Republican Nominee.
You politicians are the only ones who refuse to accept that fact.
Get over it. Speechifying is irrelevant if you merely perceive reality.
If he talks about anything other than Hillary being a criminal and a killer and an abuser of women, then he is an absolute worthless piece of garbage. I am absolutely sick of these idiots criticizing anything to do with the Republican campaign. And by the way Ryan was a complete embarrassment as a vice presidential candidate. He added 0.
“Couldn’t happen fast enough now. Will Ryan rethink his position after what happened this morning? Doubtful.”
no because the “establishment” is completely divorced from reality
This is a day after Trump extended an oluve branch to congress. We’ll see but I am not holding my breath.
