Paul Ryan Retains House Speaker Position
----------------------------------------

House Republicans donned red "Make America Great Again" hats Tuesday on
Capitol Hill as they announced Wisconsin Congressmember Paul Ryan would
remain House speaker. His renomination was unanimous, despite fears he
would be ousted for not more fully supporting Donald Trump on the
campaign trail. Ryan never unendorsed Trump, but did say he wouldn't
campaign for him, following the surfacing of a 2005 video in which Trump
openly brags about sexually assaulting women.
