On Tuesday, Trump caused shockwaves when he said he was “not quite there yet” on backing Ryan in an interview with The Washington Post, who faces off against Republican challenger Paul Nehlen next Tuesday.
Asked about endorsing Trump by CNN in May, Ryan said, “I’m just not ready to do that at this point”.
“I think I was right and Mitt Romney and John McCain were wrong on certain policy issues, but I never thought that they couldn’t do the job”, Obama said.
On Wednesday Ryan received the endorsement of Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee – but not of presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Clinton also slammed Trump for his “absolute allegiance” to Russia that raises “national security” concerns, prompting him to deny having any “relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin. I strongly support Paul Ryan, strongly endorse his re-election.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, Trump originally praised a baby after it cried out during his event in Virginia before saying: “Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here?”
Controversial Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will make a major economic speech in Detroit Monday as he courts voters in Rust Belt states that are important to both his and Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaigns for the White House. After the RNC, 35 percent said they viewed the Republican party more favorably and 52 percent said less favorably.
Privately, Trump points to his recent fundraising success, large rallies and decent polling against a seasoned candidate as evidence that his campaign is working well.
“The speaker is going to remain focused entirely on ensuring we deliver strong Republican majorities this fall”, he said.
The president’s comments come after Trump received backlash for his criticism on Khizr and Ghazala Khan, two Muslim Americans whose son died in Iraq in 2004 while fighting for the U.S. Army.
Pence’s statement was prepared before the Trump news conference in Doral, Florida, where he suggested that Russian Federation hack Clinton’s emails, a Pence aide said – indicating the campaign was comfortable with a split before it had happened, as opposed to Pence attempting to clean up a mess Trump had made.
Trump has also refused to back the re-election campaign of House of Representatives Speaker, Paul Ryan.
Several media outlets reported on Wednesday that the campaign is in disarray and that Trump had rejected advice from his staff to drop the battle with the Khans.
Trump later tweeted, “Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same – Nice!”

“But think of it. I hear more and more that the election on November 8, can you believe, we’re nearly there”.
