Trump's campaign had announced a breakthrough but Ryan then denied it. Ryan will go down if he doesn't get this right. It's getting too late to save him as Speaker. Say the word Donald! TM

House Speaker Paul Ryan shot down reports Wednesday that he was on the verge of endorsing Donald Trump for president.

"I don't know where all this came from. I haven't made a decision," Ryan told reporters. "I don't have a timeline in my mind and I have not made a decision and nothing's changed from that perspective."

The speaker added that he and the expected GOP nominee were still have "productive conversations."

Throughout the GOP presidential primaries, Ryan has tried to walk a line — between candidates and sometimes inflammatory rhetoric and trying to manage the party's message and vision from his perch as speaker of the House. He's done so in a series of speeches and public appearances, and those efforts sparked speculation that Ryan was planning a dark-horse campaign of his own for the nomination at a potentially contested convention. That's something he had to personally, and publicly, deny in April.

He is, however, continuing his efforts to try and shape the narrative of 2016 and the message for Republicans. In an effort to hold their majority and reassure Republicans still wary of the party's presidential nominee, House Republicans will begin rolling out a policy agenda of their own in June.

"This isn't a legislative agenda for 2016, because Barack Obama is president. This is a legislative agenda for 2017 with a new president," Ryan said Wednesday, adding that he was hopeful it would be a Republican president and a Republican-controlled Congress.

Ryan is spearheading the agenda project, which he calls "Confident America." He previewed the agenda at a media briefing on Wednesday.

House Republicans will unveil proposals on a weekly basis for the month of June that address the economy, taxes, national security, healthcare, poverty, and reasserting congressional authority. The latter is in response to President Obama's use of executive orders to enact policy changes.

Ryan said the first week's roll out will include the GOP's agenda on how to combat poverty, an issue that the speaker has personally pushed to the forefront of the agenda project.
