Paul Ryan just said he’s voting for Donald Trump

‘I’m confident he will help turn the House GOP’s agenda into laws’


After publicly announcing he was not ready to support Donald Trump’s candidacy, Paul Ryan has now revealed he will vote for Trump this November.

“I’ll be voting for @realDonaldTrump this fall. I’m confident he will help turn the House GOP’s agenda into laws,” Ryan tweeted just now.

He outlined his support in a column for his hometown paper, The Janesville 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.

“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.”

As the House Speaker and a leading Republican, Ryan’s support of Trump is substantial.
