Please see the statement below from DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján on the resignation of Speaker Boehner:
“The Republican Party is broken and the news of Speaker Boehner’s resignation makes that crystal clear. All year, House Republicans have demonstrated that they cannot govern responsibly on behalf of hardworking Americans, putting infighting over governing and extreme positions over progress.
“Unfortunately, a change in Republican leadership won’t change the Republican agenda and power of the right wing within their Caucus. The American people are watching, and I share their frustration with this regrettably typical dysfunction. Republicans will be held accountable at the ballot box next November.”
