Republicans are returning to Capitol Hill to confront an awkward new reality. Donald Trump is their presumptive presidential nominee, but instead of uniting behind him, leading figures are withholding their support.
Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have agreed to meet next Thursday
A fractured Republican party showed few signs of mending Friday, after RNC chairman Reince Priebus declared his support for Donald Trump, and Trump bashed House Speaker Paul Ryan for not falling in line.
Ryan's national stature is such that he had to call a news conference to deny he wants to be president. Back on Capitol Hill, he's about to blow through a statutory deadline to pass an annual budget.
House Speaker Paul Ryan promises a bold, election-year agenda of replacing the health care law and fighting poverty. While GOP task forces are talking about national security, jobs and health care, the House floor has largely been turned over to the obscure and the arcane.
Republican Rep. Paul Ryan is likely to become the next speaker of the House. He's already become an unlikely spokesman for balancing family life with work.
Rep. Paul Ryan has told House Republicans he will run for House Speaker if he is the unity candidate of the divided party.

Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio, two potential 2016 presidential candidates, are laying out pathways for their Republican Party and nudging a party still reeling from its loss to President Barack Obama.
On a conference call with donors Romney claimed that Obama won because he gave "gifts" to African Americans, Latinos and young voters.
Obama plays basketball and Romney campaigns on Election Day
Mitt Romney is planning to host an Ohio rally Friday evening to launch a four-day sprint to Election Day.
By now it's obvious that Obama and his administration did not handle the situation correctly. Rather than taking a presidential stance during the horrendous incident, Obama kept his mind and actions on his 2012 reelection campaign and tried to alter the obvious reasons for the deadly attack.
Early vote was once an idea that both parties promoted. But as Democrats grow in their ability to use it to their strategic advantage, Republicans have sought to reduce or eliminate it.
With the CBS Local Presidential Forum coming to a close Barack Obama and Mitt Romney take their chance to set the record straight, pointing out the false accusations their opponent has leveled and giving their response.
There were so many blatant signs of Obama-favored bias displayed by CNN political correspondent Candy Crowley that one scarcely knows where to begin. She caused the difference between Romney's huge win in the first debate and his extremely narrow win in the second.
If you want to know what an empty, meaningless political photo opportunity is look at Congressman Paul Ryan's drop by at a food bank last week in Youngstown, Ohio.
Lisa Thomasson from Euless walks around her yard pointing to area's where she had carefully placed a number of campaign signs.
Romney so misrepresented his record in Denver that it will be hard for the former Massachusetts Governor to walk it back tonight because Romney will be lying about his record to a room full of voters.
Much like the first debate, GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney will win the second debate as well but on a much smaller scale. The reasons for the second win in a row will be quite different on the surface but will be much the same beneath the surface.
Mitt Romney's apprentice salesman stepped on the stage last night and delivered his talking points, but little more. Throughout the night, Joe Biden delivered lesson after lesson to the ambitious young Congressman from Wisconsin.
Both candidates did what they had set out to do. Biden reached out to his base, and Ryan spoke to those who don't like the direction the country is headed. Republicans are likely not happy that Ryan didn't deliver the knock-out debate Mitt Romney did a week ago while Democrats are, as previously stated, ecstatic Biden didn't have a bad night.
Many analysts predicted there would be fireworks during the only debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan -- and the candidates didn't disappoint.
First, try to make Paul Ryan look inexperienced and un-Presidential and, two, hold the Romney/Ryan ticket accountable for their ever changing policies and focus on Mitt Romney as someone that cannot be trusted.
