House Speaker Paul Ryan's primary opponent said Monday that the Wisconsin Republican should have already endorsed Donald Trump, days after the two men met to bridge differences in Washington.

"The will of the voters, the voters have spoken. Paul Ryan is withholding something like he is going to bend the arc of Mr. Trump's intentions and Paul Ryan, Paul Ryan can't get a budget through," Paul Nehlen told CNN. "Paul Ryan has a job to do and he's not doing it. Paul Ryan should respect the will of the voters of this country. This is a republic. Paul Ryan is the highest Republican elected official. So for him to try to hold this back or to try to do something ... it's disingenuous at best for what Paul Ryan's doing right now."


Nehlen also remarked that Ryan is merely positioning himself and that he is not unifying the Republican Party in any regard.

"The only thing Paul Ryan unifies is big banks, big law firms, and big insurance companies to work against American workers," Nehlen said. "That's what Paul Ryan unifies."

A poll released last week showed Ryan with a 64-point lead on Nehlen.
