- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) won't run for president in 2016, he told CBS News.
- Many election watchers considered Ryan, who chairs the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, a presidential contender, especially after his run for vice president on the Romney-Ryan ticket in 2012.
- Other likely Republican presidential contenders include former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
