Trump and Paul Ryan to reconcile before crucial meeting
- 8 years ago
Donald Trump struck a more conciliatory tone about House Speaker Paul D. Ryan whom appeared to reciprocate, saying he would step down from his position as chairman of the Republican National Convention in July if that is what the party’s presumptive nominee requests.
After Mr. Ryan said last week that he was “not ready” to endorse Trump, he refused to rule out blocking Ryan from the convention role.
Trump and Ryan appeared to be backing away slightly from confrontation.
Both are meeting this Thursday at the Republican National Committee headquarters in two separate meetings : one with the House Republican conference and one with just Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus, the party chairman and an ally of the speaker.
