    Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) does not plan to support Donald Trump’s latest bid for the White House.

    The former lawmaker said in an interview that he plans to write in a different Republican’s name on the ballot but stopped short of revealing who it is.

    “Character is too important to me,” Ryan, who left Congress in 2019, told Yahoo Finance at the Milken Global Institute Conference. “And it’s a job that requires the kind of character that he just doesn’t have.”

    “Having said that, I really disagree with [President Biden] on policy,” he added. “I wrote in a Republican the last time, I’m gonna write in a Republican this time.”

    Ryan, the head of the Republican House majority during Trump’s first two years in the White House, has become a vocal critic of the former president.

    “Historically speaking, all of his tendencies are basically where narcissism takes him, which is whatever makes him popular, makes him feel good in any given moment,” Ryan said in an interview late last year.

    “He doesn’t think in classical liberal conservative terms,” he continued at the time. “He thinks in an authoritarian way, and he’s been able to get a big chunk of the Republican base to follow him because he’s the culture warrior.”

    1. I remember when Paul Ryan was speaker and told Trump he would get money for the wall. He lied. He is just as responsible as Mayorkas and Biden for the invasion of illegal immigrants we have and are adding to daily in this country. What Ryan thinks means zero to me. He is not a Republican. He is a RINO.

    2. Paul Ryan doesn’t even pretend to be a Republican anymore. He’s a Ryanite…all in for himself. Hope he’s banned from the Republican Convention.

    3. A vote for a write in is a vote for the destruction democrats have reaped upon this nation. The moronic Republicans that don’t vote the candidate, are destroying the party and America! Don’t waste a vote on a write in. Stop believing the lies the Dems and the media are saying about Trump 99% of it is a lie. Trumps policies are solid and he loves America. Enough said!

    4. globalist puppet, god worshiping, rino criminal party ryan = globalist puppet, god worshiping, rino criminal party, mccarthy = globalist puppet, god worshiping, rino criminal party, johnson . . . . .
