Fox News host Sean Hannity offered up an ominous warning about the fate of House Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) political career as Donald Trump beat expectations on Election Day. Hannity, who has reportedly spoken with Trump three times on election night, declared late Tuesday: "Paul Ryan is not going to be speaker of the House in January."
Though Ryan endorsed Trump and confirmed he voted for the Republican candidate, the two haven't had the chummiest of relationships. In October, Trump suggested that Ryan might not remain speaker of the House if he wins the presidency because his campaign didn't "get the support from guys like Paul Ryan."
