Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) says his party is done with Donald Trump.
“It’s fading fast,” he told CNN on Thursday. “He’s a proven loser who cost us the House in ’18, cost us the White House in ’20, cost us the Senate over and over again, and I think we all know that.”
Ryan said he believes Republicans are “passing by” the former president, who has already announced his 2024 bid to return to the White House.

He currently serves on the board of Fox Corp., the parent company of Fox News.
