Variety: Paul Ryan Endorses Trump
Ted Johnson
House Speaker Paul Ryan said that he will vote for Donald Trump, after weeks of withholding support for the presumptive Republican nominee.
Ryan did not say whether his vote was an endorsement, but wrote that
it is Trump, not Hillary Clinton, who could help advance the House
agenda.
In a column he wrote for his hometown newspaper on Wisconsin, The Gazette,
Ryan wrote, “Donald Trump and I have talked at great length about
things such as the proper role of the executive and fundamental
principles such as the protection of life. The list of potential Supreme
Court nominees he released after our first meeting was very
encouraging.”
He added, “But the House policy agenda has been the main focus of our
dialogue. We’ve talked about the common ground this agenda can
represent. We’ve discussed how the House can be a driver of policy
ideas. We’ve talked about how important these reforms are to saving our
country. And we’ve talked about how, by focusing on issues that unite
Republicans, we can work together to heal the fissures developed through
the primary.
“Through these conversations, I feel confident he would help us turn
the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people’s lives.
That’s why I’ll be voting for him this fall.”
