Donald Trump and Paul Ryan deliver unity message after much-hyped meeting

House Speaker Paul Ryan and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump expressed hope on Thursday that their fractured party could come together before the general election. The two GOP leaders released a joint statement after a highly anticipated meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. “That is why it’s critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda, and do all we can to win this fall,” Ryan and Trump said in the joint statement.
