Ryan’s office denies he’s conceding Trump loss

Speaker Paul Ryan is not un-endorsing Donald Trump. And his office says he’s not conceding that Hillary Clinton will be the next president.

Ryan tells Republican lawmakers in a conference call that he will spend “his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with a Democrat-controlled Congress.”

Several pro-Trump lawmakers interpret that as a defeatist attitude. They speak on condition of anonymity because the conversation was private.
