Pope Francis & John Boehner, Sept. 24. |
Embattled Hose Speaker John Boehner will retire at the end of October, according to Politico.
The Ohio Republican faces heated opposition from within his party from a group of 40 hard-core conservative members intent on shutting down the government on Oct. 1 unless Congress approves to defund Planned Parenthood.
Boehner supporters had planned to conduct a vote of confidence in Boehner in a bid to buttress his leadership.
