RyanPaul1WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have re-nominated Paul Ryan to be House speaker when next year’s GOP-led Congress starts working on President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. House Republicans picked the Wisconsin Republican at a closed-door meeting Tuesday. This, even though some hard-right GOP lawmakers say Ryan has not been a sufficiently aggressive champion of conservative causes. Ryan still must win formal election when the full House picks its speaker as the new Congress convenes Jan. 3.
