Former House Speaker Paul Ryan blasted former President Donald Trump Wednesday as a “drag on our ticket” after the much-predicted red wave failed to materialize in this year’s midterm elections.
“I think we’re going to have to do a lot of soul-searching and head-scratching, looking through and parsing the numbers as to why we didn’t perform as well as we would have liked to,” Ryan told Wisconsin TV station WISN.
“I think Trump’s kind of a drag on our ticket,” added Ryan, the most recent Republican to hold the Speaker’s gavel.
“I think Donald Trump gives us problems, politically. We lost the House, the Senate and the White House in two years when Trump was on the ballot, or in office,” he went on. “I think we just have some Trump hangover. I think he’s a drag on our office, on our races.”
