House Speaker Paul D. Ryan dealt a hammer blow to Donald J. Trump’s presidential candidacy Monday, dashing any remaining semblance of party unity and inviting fierce backlash from his own caucus by announcing that he would no longer defend Mr. Trump’s candidacy. Mr. Ryan’s stance drew an immediate rebuke from Mr. Trump, who posted on Twitter that Mr. Ryan should focus on governing instead of feuding with him. ut Mr. Ryan informed Republican lawmakers on a morning conference call that he would never again campaign alongside Mr. Trump and would dedicate himself instead to defending the party’s majority in Congress, according to five lawmakers who participated in the call and spoke on condition of anonymity. Effectively conceding defeat for his party in the presidential race, Mr. Ryan said his most urgent task was ensuring that Hillary Clinton did not enter the White House with Democratic control of the House and Senate, two lawmakers said.
In the past, Mr. Ryan has said that his proportion of body fat was 6 percent to 8 percent, but a level that low seems unlikely, said Dr. Michael J. Joyner, an exercise expert at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Dr. Joyner added that such a reading would be exceptional in any middle-age man and was more likely in a much younger, super-elite athlete.Perhaps someone who runs a marathon in under three hours?
