It's official: Paul Ryan will speak at GOP convention

Paul Ryan will address the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week.

The House speaker — who has endorsed Donald Trump but also made clear where he differs from the presumptive Republican nominee — will give a 10-minute speech written by himself, according to Politico.

"I want to talk about our ideas, our solutions and how our party should unite ... around our common principles and how we apply those principles to problems,” Ryan told Politico.

The address became official last week after Trump met with House Republicans.

Ryan also expressed doubts about being able to work with Hillary Clinton if she were to win the White House because she is “actually a liberal progressive.”

"I think she is actually a liberal progressive. I don’t think she’s faking it. I think she is a liberal progressive. And I think she’s sitting atop a party that’s now run by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren,” Ryan told Politico. "This is not the Erskine Bowles 1996 Democratic Party. This is not Alice Rivlin, Erskine Bowles, or Bill Clinton in 1996. This is a Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders party.”

But it isn’t just Democrats who have become more extreme. Ryan said his own party has also moved more to the right.

“Our party has moved right, their party has moved really left. I think the common ground, say that you had in the early 90s when I was here as a staffer is nothing like the common ground you have right now,” he said.
