When Ryan was asked how his agenda is affected by Trump's dealmaking with Democrats, the speaker said that the bulk of legislation moves through Congress on a bipartisan basis.

"Most of the bills we pass through Congress are passed with Republican and Democratic votes and are bipartisan," he said. "It's the things that are partisan that get the most attention."

Ryan said he negotiates with Democrats "on an almost daily basis because we have to get things done on a bipartisan basis if we want to get anything done."

The Speaker said he thinks "there will be a compromise on DACA," but that agreement will need to include border-security and enforcement provisions.
