House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Sunday he is not placing party before country in supporting Donald Trump for president.

“[I]magine the speaker of the House not supporting the duly-elected nominee of our party, therefore creating a chasm in our party to split us in half, which basically helps deny us the White House and strong majorities in Congress,” Ryan said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The last thing I want to see happen is another Democrat in the White House, I don’t want to see Hillary Clinton as president.”
