Trump’s endorsement of Ryan would come at an 8 p.m. ET rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, two sources said.
The feud between Ryan and Trump was again put on full display early this week after Trump declined to endorse Ryan, who faces a longshot challenger in next week’s Republican primary election for Ryan’s House seat.
Ryan has endorsed Trump, but he said in a Friday radio interview that his endorsement isn’t a “blank check” and pledged to speak out against the businessman’s divisive positions if necessary.
Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, is brushing off Republican concerns of turmoil in their campaign.
US Representative Charlie Dent, a Pennsylvania Republican, said he couldn’t endorse Trump because of “all these unforced errors” that Trump is making.
“Right now, if you look at the way these races are coming together, I think that the Republican candidates by and large are significantly over-performing where you would expect them to be, given the state of the presidential race”, said Josh Holmes, a GOP consultant and former chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

He said the fact that she has moved past a scandal over her use of a private email server as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state was “probably the greatest accomplishment that she has ever had in politics”. “You want safety. And then we have people interrupting constantly”, he said.
Pence later reiterated his support, telling WTKR in a transcript provided by his campaign that “of course I support John McCain and Kelly Ayotte and all of our Republican incumbents”.
Pence said he and Trump believe Khan is “an American hero” and said “his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American”.
The speaker also defended his endorsement of Ryan to critics of Trump.
President Obama dismissed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s comment this week that the election may be “rigged” this year.
Last weekend, Pence, whose only son is a U.S. Marine, sought to quell the uproar Trump created by lashing out at Capt. Humayun Khan’s parents, who appeared at the Democratic convention and have criticized Trump’s anti-Muslim rhetoric. “We said, ‘Where are they now?’ ” said Phyllis Matlack, of Greenfield.
Trump’s missteps have caused widening ripples of anxiety among Republican officials with the election just three months away. That was given to us, has to be by the Iranians.
“If someone is the nominee”, Obama said, “they get security briefings, so if they were to win they’re not starting from scratch if they were to become president”.
