‘Character is too important’: Paul Ryan says he’ll write in a candidate, won’t vote for Trump – By Lawrence Andrea (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) / May 8, 2024
WASHINGTON – Former House Speaker Paul Ryan this week doubled down on his claim that he will not vote for Donald Trump this November, reasserting his opposition to the former president just two months before he’s set to accept the Republican nomination in Milwaukee.
“Not from me,” Ryan told Yahoo Finance Tuesday when asked if he’d vote for Trump in November. “Character is too important to me, and it’s a job that requires the kind of character he just doesn’t have.”
Ryan said he’d write-in another Republican’s name, as he said he did in 2020.
His comments reaffirm those he made to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last year, when he said he would not support Trump if he became the Republican nominee for president. Ryan at the time said he did not think Trump would become the nominee “because everyone knows we’ll lose the election if we nominate this guy again.”
