Washington Week with The Atlantic

Paul Ryan endorses Trump, modest job growth in May

7m 10s

Despite their "differences," House Speaker Paul Ryan officially announced after weeks of conversation that he will vote for his party's presidential nominee Donald Trump in November because the businessman is best suited to make the Republican agenda a reality. Plus, the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in May, but the U.S. economy added just 38,000 jobs and saw a slowdown in hiring.
