House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) released a video “promoting his unity strategy for the House GOP. But the clip, which shows Ryan giving a speech to a rapt audience, plays like a campaign ad,” Time reports.
“Ryan has repeatedly dismissed the idea that he will enter the Republican presidential race… There are, however, countless theories about what could happen should a contested convention take place and this quasi-campaign video from Ryan will only add fuel to the fire.”
