Trump Threat to House GOP Control? No Worries, Says Ryan


RYAN-GOPHouse Speaker Paul Ryan says he’s not worried that Donald Trump will cost Republicans control of the chamber in November’s election.

With Trump leading the race for the GOP presidential nomination, some in the party worry that his unbridled comments about women, Hispanics and others will cost Republican candidates in swing House districts.

Ryan says he’s not concerned because House Republicans are crafting an agenda to put the country on the right track. The Wisconsin Republican said Tuesday “We are in control of our own actions.”

Before Trump’s rise, modest Democratic gains seemed possible. Few have believed the party could gain the 30 seats needed to win House control.

House Republicans have a 246-188 edge over Democrats, plus one vacant seat considered sure to stay under GOP control.
