First Read: “According to a source inside yesterday’s House GOP conference meeting, six House members stood up during the open mic period to express their frustration with Ryan’s comments about not being able to support Donald Trump as the nominee at this point. Members said they were blindsided by the speaker’s announcement and that it puts them in a hard spot in their districts; they are feeling pressure to choose between the speaker and the presumptive nominee. A couple other members, however, stood up and voiced support for Ryan’s comments. At least one of these members is up for reelection in a district where having Trump at the top of the ticket would be damaging. The source says the conference is definitely divided.”
