  • The 2012 vice presidential nominee, if returned to the speaker's chair by House members, may have a smaller Republican majority to work with if voters elect fewer Republicans.
  • Ryan, 46, has been speaker since October 2015. His re-election to that job is not certain.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican Paul Ryan was re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by voters in his Wisconsin district on Tuesday, positioning him to reassert his claim to remain speaker of the House, the highest-ranking post in the U.S. Congress.

The 2012 vice presidential nominee, if returned to the speaker's chair by House members, may have a smaller Republican majority to work with if voters elect fewer Republicans. Most House races were still undecided.

Like all members of the House, other Republicans were also running for re-election from their home districts, including House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana.

Along with Ryan, they were expected to seek re-election to their leadership posts. Closed-door leadership elections in both parties were expected to take place later in November. A new speaker will be elected by all members of Congress in January.

Ryan, 46, has been speaker since October 2015. His re-election to that job is not certain. Some House conservatives have criticized him, and they may have a stronger hand after Tuesday's voting.

A number of Republican lawmakers were angered in October when Ryan said he would not campaign with or defend Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who was in a closely fought race with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Tuesday night.

    “RINO” Ryan is one of the smartest politicians we have in the US, and his budget proposal was a truly conservative and workable one. If he’d been elected with Romney, and they managed to get his budget proposal approved by Congress, we wouldn’t be in a position this year where the electorate decided to nuke the system by electing someone like Mr. Trump. He is the future of the Republican party, and one all can be proud of. As a Libertarian, no that’s not liberal, I know what I’m looking for in a conservative budget, and Ryan nailed it. I hope Mr. Trump will tap someone like Ryan’s extensive understanding of the federal budget to formulate his administration’s budget proposal this next year, and throughout his Presidency.
