House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has sealed the deal on his endorsement of Donald Trump. In an interview Tuesday on Fox & Friends, Ryan confirmed he has cast his ballot for the Republican presidential candidate. "I stand where I've stood all fall and all summer," Ryan said. "In fact, I already voted here in Janesville, [Wisconsin], for our nominee last week in early voting."
Though Ryan announced last month he would no longer defend Trump and would instead focus on down-ballot races, he maintained Tuesday that it's still vital the party supports "the entire Republican ticket." "The point I keep trying to make to younger voters who did not live through the 1990s is that this is what life with the Clintons looks like: It's always a scandal, one after another. Then there is an investigation," he said. "They live beyond the rules and they live to work the system to help themselves, to help Clinton Inc."
