Ryan Says He’ll Run for Speaker If Conditions Are Met

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) delivered “a pitch Tuesday night to run for House speaker and end weeks of GOP chaos as long as Republican lawmakers meet certain conditions for his tenure,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Ryan: “If you can agree to these requests and I can truly be a unifying figure, then I will gladly serve… This is not a job I ever sought. This is not a job I every wanted…  I came to the conclusion that this was a dire moment.”

He added: “We need to move from being an opposition party to being a proposition party… Our next speaker has to be a visionary one.”
