Speaker Ryan tells GOP colleagues: 'We must deliver'

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan told Republican lawmakers Monday that it's time to "hit the ground running as we join forces with the new Trump administration."

House Republicans will hold closed-door leadership elections on Tuesday and Ryan is expected to be re-elected as speaker — despite mumblings of discontent from a few conservative lawmakers.

[...] since the election Ryan has been effusive in his praise for Trump and enthusiasm over their potential joint agenda, even though Trump has shown no enthusiasm for the large-scale overhauls of Medicare and Social Security that Ryan has pushed for years.
