Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will deliver a speech on Capitol Hill on Wednesday about the “state of American politics.” 

{mosads}A Ryan aide said the speech will focus on changing the tenor of the current political discourse.

“The speaker will talk about how, in a confident America, we can elevate political debates to inspire and unite people.”

The Speaker has weighed in on the contentious GOP presidential primary on only a few occasions. Without explicitly mentioning Donald Trump by name, Ryan has condemned the Republican front-runner’s call for banning Muslims from entering the country and failure to immediately disavow support from the Ku Klux Klan, and he urged Trump to take responsibility for violence at some of his campaign rallies.

Some in the party have suggested the Speaker as a possible presidential candidate who could unify Republicans at a contested convention this summer. Ryan, however, has repeatedly shot down that notion.

Nonetheless, Tuesday’s announcement that he will deliver the speech immediately fueled facetious speculation among some political commentators on Twitter that Ryan will announce he’s running for president.

“You guys are funny,” Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck tweeted. 

The 11 a.m. address will take place in the House Ways and Means Committee room, the panel that Ryan chaired until he was recruited to replace former Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) last year.

It will be open only to members of the media and House interns.

I’m slightly offended that you think I’d be okay with a committee hearing room venue if he was announcing (he’s not).
