WASHINGTON House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) announced Wednesday that hes retiring at the end of the year, leaving his party scrambling to find a strong candidate for his seat and Democrats with a better shot at potentially winning the district.

The filing deadline for Wisconsins 1st Congressional District is June 1, which gives the GOP just under two months to field a candidate they like. A couple of Republicans are already running, but theyre not exactly viable. Theres Paul Nehlen, a white nationalist who got banned from Twitter and booted from the Wisconsin GOP . Another candidate is Nick Polce, an Army Green Beret and first-time candidate who raised a meager $17,000 in the last filing period.

In comparison, the top Democrat in the race, Randy Iron Stache Bryce, raised a whopping $2.6 million in the same period.

Bryce is also already raising money off of Ryans retirement, with his campaign sending out this email barely an hour after the news broke.
