Ryan officially announces he's running for Speaker
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is officially running for Speaker following a demands he made of House Republicans this week to unify behind him.
Ryan said he would not run for Speaker unless all three of the major House GOP factions endorsed him: the hardline Freedom Caucus, conservative Republican Study Committee and centrist Tuesday Group.
The Republican Study Committee and Tuesday Group endorsed him Thursday, while the Freedom Caucus said a “supermajority” would back Ryan but full short of an official endorsement.
