Trump’s announcement, made during a campaign stop in Green Bay, came just a few days after he gave a shout-out to Ryan’s primary challenger and proclaimed he “was just not there” when it came to endorsing Ryan.

“I like Paul. I like Paul”.
As for Trump’s critiques of the Khans, Pence gestured reconciliation in a statement, saying, “Donald Trump and I believe that Captain Humayun Khan is an American hero and his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American”.
It’s not clear that Ryan is keen to receive Trump’s endorsement.
“I think we have to recognize that of course some of the appeal is xenophobic, and racist and misogynistic and offensive, we have to acknowledge that”, she said during an appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference today. But Vos, too, was skipping the Trump rally on Friday.
“Arm in arm, we will rescue the country from the Obama-Clinton disaster”, Trump told supporters after formally declaring his support for Ryan in next week’s congressional primary.
“Mr. Trump did this for party unity and I applaud him for that”, Nehlen said.
Ryan also responded to Nehlen’s comment this week that there should be a discussion in the US about deporting Muslims.
“I fully expected it”, said Nehlen, who added that he did not speak with or meet with Trump in recent days beyond their public exchange on Twitter. She added, “I’m going to work my heart out in this campaign and as president to produce results for people”. We need very strong leadership.
Speaking to Republicans at the Kenosha County GOP headquarters, 5901 75th St., Ryan brushed off the sudden national media attention Trump has brought to his primary race against Nehlen.
Ryan, the top USA elected Republican, had no plans to attend the event, in a sign of lingering frictions between the pair. “And I just hate the way our veterans have been treated by John and other people”.
Mr Trump appeared to try to assuage the concerns of reluctant Republicans, urging them to consider his running mate Mike Pence, the conservative governor of IN whom Mr Trump chose IN part because he brings important executive and congressional experience to the ticket.
Ryan was asked by host Charlie Sykes on WTMJ whether there’s anything that would lead to Ryan “cancelling” that check.
Trump also threw his support behind Arizona Sen.
Observers and analysts have said Trump is losing ground due to a number of factors, but probably none more than his unflinching campaign rhetoric.
“I also wish I could lose 20 pounds, cut 5 shots off my [golf] handicap and play the piano”, one Republican insider told POLITICO. “I’m not going to try to psychoanalyze this stuff”.
Ryan reiterated his stance Friday that “With any endorsement of anybody, there’s never a blank check”.

“You put a target on your back the day you accept that responsibility”, Ryan told local reporters in Kenosha.
