Paul Ryan Will Support The Budget Deal:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), who will likely be elected speaker of the House this week, announced on Wednesday morning that he will support the deal to raise the debt ceiling and set a two-year budget, despite his comments on Tuesday that the process Congressional leaders used to reach the deal "stinks."

"Once again, we are facing a hard deadline and few good options. There is no doubt that a better process would have produced a better result. If I’m elected speaker, we will begin a conversation about how to approach these big issues — as a team — long before we reach these kinds of deadlines. We simply can’t keep doing business this way," Ryan wrote in a statement.

But Ryan said that he will determine his vote based on the "substance of the bill" and any available alternatives to the deal.
