Former House Speaker Paul Ryan announced he won’t vote for ex-President Trump in the upcoming election, opting to write in another Republican candidate. “Character is too important to me,” Ryan stated at the Milken Global Institute Conference. Despite disagreeing with President Biden’s policies, Ryan affirmed his decision to support a different Republican.
Ryan, who led the Republican House majority during Trump’s initial years in office, has emerged as a staunch critic of the former president. He has publicly supported Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kizinger for opposing Trump. Ryan labels Trump not as a conservative, but an “authoritarian narcissist.”
In a previous interview, Ryan criticized Trump’s tendencies, stating, “He doesn’t think in classical liberal conservative terms. 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.”
Ryan also confirmed Biden’s 2020 election victory, countering Trump’s unfounded claims of election fraud. “It was not rigged. It was not stolen,” Ryan asserted, “Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It’s really clear.”
After a 20-year tenure representing Wisconsin’s 1st District, Ryan left Congress. He was Sen. Mitt Romney’s running mate in the 2012 presidential race. Romney, set to retire from the Senate, has also recently criticized Trump.
