Mr Ryan had dismissed Mr Trump’s refusal to support him and said that the only endorsements that mattered to him were those from voters in his district.
In contrast to Trump, Pence created a split in the ticket by endorsing Ryan this week. “I have officially endorsed Paul Ryan — and together, we will fight for you, and together we will Make America Great Again!” He says he is still “watching and waiting and evaluating”. “She is a rising star and will continue to represent the great people of New Hampshire so very well for a very long time“.
Nehlen says Trump’s decision “is appropriate and is a display of true leadership”.
“We are used to out-of-state interlopers coming in and trying to hijack our system”, Ryan said.
In addition to praising Mr Ryan, Donald Trump also threw his support behind John McCain, saying he held the Arizona senator “in the highest esteem. for his service to our country in uniform and in public office”.
He adds that, “This campaign is not about me or any one candidate”, and says: “We will have disagreements”.
He spoke about how Trump won the GOP primary “fair and square”.
“I’m not going to get into any hypotheticals”, he said.
Nehlen had released a statement defending Trump amid criticism over his remarks about the Muslim parents of a slain US solider.
Nehlen was asked whether he was calling for deporting all U.S. Muslims. He said, “I’m suggesting we have a discussion about it, that’s for sure”.
