During an appearance on The Hugh Hewitt Show this morning, Paul Ryan said the GOP is "back on track" after a "rough couple of weeks" and set to be a governing party.

Two big promises: Ryan said tax reform will get done in 2017 and the Senate should pass health care by its August recess.

On losing the House in 2018: "Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, this is what I call the white noise of Washington beltway media."

On Trump: "He clearly did have a bad two weeks. Clearly, it's my hope that he does right the ship, that he improves."

From vaccinations to stimulus to schools, Biden is seeking bipartisan compromise while showing a willingness to use executive authority and bare Democratic majorities in the U.S. House and Senate to implement his policies. Republican leaders are navigating deep party divisions over if and how to move beyond former President Trump.
