Paul Ryan signals openness to a 2016 run

Ryan made the remark last week during a breakfast fundraiser for his re-election campaign for his House seat. The event was held at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan, with about 40 attendees, including hedge fund executive Dan Loeb; GOP donors Wilbur Ross and Wayne Berman; and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.

Ryan was asked about 2016, two attendees said, and responded that he hadn’t really begun discussing it with his wife. But he said that he’s asking “friends and supporters to keep their powder dry,” recalled one attendee.
