Paul Ryan: I Early-Voted For Donald Trump [VIDEO]

Via Politico:



Paul Ryan has voted for Donald Trump. The House speaker told Fox News Tuesday that he pulled the lever in early voting for his GOP nominee, despite their very public, long-running standoff. Ryan reluctantly endorsed Trump in June but has kept his distance, telling Republicans last month that he wouldn’t campaign for the nominee. Still, Ryan has never said he wouldn’t vote for Trump. “I stand where I’ve stood all fall and all summer. In fact, I already voted here in Janesville, [Wis.] for our nominee last week in early voting,” he said on “Fox and Friends.”

When asked whether he was encouraging all Republicans to support Trump, he notably only answered from his personal point of view: “I am supporting our entire Republican ticket. I have been all along.” (Ryan has a number of moderate Republican colleagues who cannot support Trump or they will lose their seats, so encouraging everyone to vote Trump would put them in political jeopardy.)
