Ryan Will Vote for Budget Deal

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), “expected to become the next speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, threw his support on Wednesday behind a two-year budget deal aimed at averting a default on U.S. government debt next week,” Reuters reports.

“The support could provide a boost for the bill, which is set to reach the House floor for a vote Wednesday, even as far-right Republicans criticize it for increasing spending.”
