Gov. Walker speaks to reporters in Milwaukee

Gov. Walker on Thursday threw his support behind Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan to succeed John Boehner as Speaker of the House. Walker says Ryan is the best person for the job.

“He’s someone who has incredible respect not only within his conference, but he has respect across the aisle (be)cause he’s a doer. He gets things done,” Walker says.

Ryan has put forth conditions under which he would serve as speaker, which include unity within the Republican Party and him being allowed to keep the time he has with his family. Walker says Ryan is well within his bounds to make such demands.
