Mitt Romney Came To D.C. To Watch Paul Ryan Get Elected Speaker

The former Republican presidential nominee watched from the House gallery Thursday morning. And then they took a selfie.

Mitt Romney — along with his wife Ann Romney — watched the vote for his once running-mate Paul Ryan from the House gallery Thursday morning.

Romney was reportedly one of many Republicans who urged Ryan to run for speaker.

After Ryan secured his party's nomination for speaker Wednesday, Romney announced on Twitter he was looking forward to seeing his "good buddy" elected.

Congratulations to @RepPaulRyan! Looking forward to seeing my good buddy sworn in tomorrow.

And then they took a selfie.
