Boehner’s surprise sets up leadership race

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) shocked the Capitol on Friday by announcing he will resign from Congress at the end of October.

The decision is sparking a leadership race to replace him, and will reshuffle and replace the House GOP leadership team.

The Hill’s Molly K. Hooper reports on the announcement, and a meeting that conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus held Friday afternoon on their intention to interview Speaker candidates.
