WASHINGTON — In a shocking announcement, John Boehner told his GOP colleagues he will step down as House speaker and resign his Ohio congressional seat on Oct. 30.
 
The speaker had planned to serve only through the end of last year. But he changed his plans after former congressman. Eric Cantor, then Boehner's deputy, lost in a primary in one of the biggest upsets of the 2014 cycle. That changed Boehner's calculation.
 
Boehner has served as speaker since the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives following the 2010 midterm elections.
