Donald Trump also met with Republicans on Capitol Hill Thursday, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, who never unendorsed Trump, but did say he wouldn’t campaign for him, following the surfacing of a 2005 video in which Trump openly brags about sexually assaulting women. On Thursday, however, Ryan said he was now excited to work with Trump.
Speaker Paul Ryan: “We’re not going to do a press conference here. Let me just say how excited we are about these opportunities for the country. We had a fantastic, productive meeting about getting to work, rolling up our sleeves and going to work for the American people. Donald Trump had one of the most impressive victories we’ve ever seen, and we’re going to turn that victory into progress for the American people. And we are now talking about how we’re going to hit the ground running, to make sure that we can get this country turned around and make America great again.”
