Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan easily defeated a challenge from Republican businessman Paul Nehlen in Tuesday's District 1 primary.
Ryan says his wide margin of victory does not mean Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is doomed in November. Trump failed to endorse Ryan until last Friday while offering praise for Nehlen.
At this primary gathering Tuesday night, Ryan said his large victory reflects the fact that his constituents know him very well, and it does not indicate how Trump will fare in Wisconsin.

Ryan will now face the winner of the Democratic primary - Ryan Solen - in November's general election.
Earlier in the day Tuesday, state elections officials reported complaints in Janesville and Mount Pleasant that Nehlen supporters had placed campaign signs within 100 feet of six polling places, a violation of state law. After being informed of the law, supporters removed the signs.
