House Speaker Paul Ryan will be in Downtown Madison on Friday for a speech and conversation with UW-Madison's College Republicans, the group announced Monday.

The visit, which is being organized by the GOP student organization and will not be open to the general public, comes as Ryan spars with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Trump's name is not mentioned in a description of the event on Facebook. Instead, the description says Ryan "will lay out ... exactly what liberal progressivism is and exactly how Hillary Clinton is going to double down on liberal progressivism."

Ryan will appear at the Madison Masonic Center, 301 Wisconsin Ave., from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. with conservative talk radio host Vicki McKenna, who will moderate a question-and-answer period with the College Republicans in the audience.

The College Republicans, whose chairman, Alex Walker, is the son of Gov. Scott Walker, endorsed Trump for president in September.
