The right-wing House Freedom Caucus has backed Wisconsin Congressmember Paul Ryan for House speaker, securing him the support needed to claim the post next week. The move comes after Ryan said he “cannot and will not give up my family time” as House speaker. Critics have noted Ryan’s record of opposing policies that help low-income parents spend more time with their children—including paid parental leave.
