Can Trump unify the Republican Party?

23m 49s

New York businessman Donald Trump defied conventional wisdom to outlast 16 GOP rivals to become the party's presumptive nominee, but now the reality TV star faces a new test: unifying the Republican Party. House Speaker Paul Ryan is just one of Trump's high-profile doubters, saying Thursday he is "not ready" to support Trump. The two will meet next week to discuss the GOP agenda.
