House Speaker Paul Ryan Confident He Will Retain Leadership Role
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Wisconsin, Republican Paul Ryan easily reclaimed his House seat
Tuesday. Ryan says he is confident he'll retain his leadership role as
speaker of the House.

Speaker Paul Ryan: "I've just been sitting there watching the polls. By
some accounts, this could be a really good night for America. This could
be a good night for us."

Some Republican congressmembers say they'll seek to replace Ryan as
House speaker, after Ryan repeatedly condemned Donald Trump's remarks on
the campaign trail. Despite the criticisms, Ryan never dropped his
endorsement of Trump.
