Speaker Paul Ryan Appears to Warm to Donald Trump as Nominee

HeadlineMay 13, 2016

In Washington, D.C., House Speaker Paul Ryan’s opposition to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appears to be fading, after the two met on Capitol Hill Thursday. The two issued a joint statement saying, “While we were honest about our few differences, we recognize that there are also many important areas of common ground.” This comes as an increasing number of Republican Party leaders are choosing to back Donald Trump, despite the candidate’s controversial proposals, which include deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants and building a wall across the entire length of the U.S.-Mexico border, which experts have said is not feasible.
