House GOP leadership outlined a plan for the remaining weeks of the 115th Congress at a press conference on Wednesday. Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., emphasized the need for President Donald Trump’s full $5 billion request for the border wall to be included in a year-end spending bill. Ryan also called for the entire Senate and Trump to “come together” in order to achieve this goal.
