Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan is one step closer to winning the race for Speaker of the House.
The group known as the Freedom Caucus says it is supporting the former vice presidential nominee.
The Republican block is said to be responsible for pushing John Boehner's departure from the post.
Members of the Freedom Caucus had also raised concerns about Ryan. But they emerged from closed door meetings Wednesday to say they would support him.
Unified Republican support was one of Ryan's demands to run for the speaker's job.
