Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) weighed in Tuesday night after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) shocking defeat in the GOP primary to David Brat.
“Eric Cantor and I have been through a lot together,” Boehner said. “He’s a good friend and a great leader, and someone I’ve come to rely upon on a daily basis as we make the tough choices that come with governing. My thoughts are with him and Diana and their kids tonight.”
