Former House Speaker Paul Ryan has declared he will not attend the Republican National Conference (RNC), In the event that former President Donald Trump is nominated by the party for president in 2024.
The former speaker believes that Republicans could win back the White House with a non-Trump nominee.
Ryan (R-Wis.) appeared in an interview with WISN-TV. There, he spoke about the 45th president as well as calling for more conversation and less political discourse on the future of Social Security and Medicare.
“The reason I don’t think he’ll be our nominee is because we now we’re going to lose with him,” Ryan said. “He cost us the House in ’18, he lost the White House in ’20, he cost us the Senate in ’20, he cost us the Senate again in 2022, and he cost us probably a good dozen House seats in 2022. This is a lesson we don’t need to repeat again.”
The former speaker believes that Republicans could win back the White House with a non-Trump nominee.
“I’ll be here if it’s someone not named Trump,” he said.
Trump responded to Ryan in a social media post on Sunday.
Ryan had announced the results naming Trump as the Republican nominee back in 2016, when he was the chair of the RNC convention.
