In an interview with local Wisconsin television, Ryan said, “I’m endorsing someone not named Donald Trump, so I don’t have dogs in fights other than that. If I nominate Trump again, I’ll lose again.” That’s all clear I lost with him in ’18, ’20, ’22 we know this he will cost us another election so I is excited about someone not named Trump.
In the same interview, Ryan said he would not attend the Republican convention in Wisconsin if Trump was nominated.

It took decades, but Paul Ryan may have finally found something resembling a spine. It’s too late and I wish I had come back in 2016, when there might have been an effort to stop Trump from within the Republican Party. To.
The biggest argument against Trump by the Republican elite is that he is a loser. There is no evidence that any other potential Republican primary candidate could win the general election. The picture that Ron DeSantis comes out is not good, And none of the other members of the Republican nominee have a great chance of beating Trump.
Ryan is correct on one point. Republicans continue to lose to Trump and can’t take back the White House with him still in it.
