House Speaker Paul Ryan Faces Primary Today in Wisconsin

HeadlineAug 09, 2016

There are primaries across the country today, including in Wisconsin, where House Speaker Paul Ryan is running for re-election. On Friday, Donald Trump endorsed Ryan after refusing to do so earlier last week, even though Ryan spoke at the Republican National Convention. Instead Trump had praised Ryan’s opponent, Paul Nehlen, saying he was “running a very good campaign.” In his speech Friday, Trump also endorsed Arizona Senator John McCain and New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte, whom he’d attacked earlier last week, saying, “We don’t need weak people. We have enough of them.”
