The Speaker has a conference call scheduled for 11 a.m. on Monday with House Republicans.
But a decision has not been made about whether Ryan will abandon the GOP nominee, according to a Monday report from Politico.
"I think they all face the same dilemma to varying degrees," a senior House Republican leadership aide told the publication.
"How to express displeasure in a meaningful way. ... How best to help members in tough races. ... How to try to rebuild the party post the anticipated apocalypse. I think they are all having individual and group discussions wrestling with this."
After the 2005 tape with Trump's lewd comments about groping and kissing women surfaced, Ryan said he was "sickened" by what he heard.
“Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified," Ryan said in a statement this weekend when disinviting his party's standard-bearer from an event in his home district.
"I hope Mr. Trump treats this situation with the seriousness it deserves and works to demonstrate to the country that he has greater respect for women than this clip suggests. In the meantime, he is no longer attending tomorrow’s event in Wisconsin.”
Many other Republicans denounced Trump's comments and several said they couldn't vote for their party's nominee after news broke of the bombshell tape. Some called for the GOP nominee to drop out of the race.
Trump has attempted to brush off his comments as "locker room talk."
"I don’t think you understand what was said," Trump told CNN's Anderson Cooper during Sunday night's presidential debate.
