For us to be a successful party, to climb that final hill and win the presidency, we will need a standard bearer that can unify all Republicans, all conservatives, all wings of our party and then go to the country with an appealing agenda that can be appealing to independents and disaffected Democrats.
Ryan emphasizes the necessity of a unifying candidate for the Republican Party to succeed in the presidential election.

More from Paul Ryan
Speaker Paul Ryan has said repeatedly throughout the day... that the speaker himself remains fully confident not just in his ability to run this Russian investigation.
The committee has to work on a bipartisan basis, something they haven't exactly been doing. He wants them to get to the bottom of things and investigate, in his words, all things Russia.
There are a lot of unanswered questions. What I told our members is now is the time to gather all the pertinent information. We can't deal with speculation and innuendo. And there's clearly a lot of politics being played.
