Who is the last speaker of the house that lost the primary?
Might make some history.
Would that eff em all up in DC or What?
The last Speaker of the House to lose his seat was Tom Foley of Washington. He was defeated by George Nethercutt in November 1994 after serving since 1989.
Prior to Foley, we have to go back to 1862 to see a Speaker of the House ‘Retired’.
