Mitt Romney has selected U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his running mate, according to unnamed sources cited by NBC News, CNN and the Associated Press.
Ryan, 42, authored a controversial budget plan that would curb spending on popular programs such as Medicare. Ryan’s selection would portend a fierce debate in the campaign’s final phase over the size and role of government.
