“And while I’m at it, I hold in the highest esteem, Senator John McCain, for his service to our country in uniform and in public office and I fully support and endorse his reelection”, Trump said.

Donald Trump has endorsed the US House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, having earlier publically snubbed him. “But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement”. He said in the same interview that Mr McCain had not done enough for veterans and criticised Ms Ayotte for distancing herself from him during the campaign.
Trump on Friday evening said in Wisconsin that he would back Ryan in his Republican primary against Paul Nehlen, a little-known challenger.
The Republican Party was understandably divided after what happened between Donald Trump and Khizr and Ghazala Khan following the D.N.C.
He also endorsed Senators John McCain of Arizona and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, whom he called a “rising star”.
“And we may disagree on a couple of things but mostly we agree and we’re going to get it done”, Trump added. Trump wants to build a wall between the United States and Mexico and now says he wants to suspend immigration from “terror countries” – though he has yet to say what those are.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who has told CBS 58 News in the past he would look forward to an opportunity to serve in Homeland Security in a Trump Administration, was in Green Bay and spoke to the crowd before Trump.
Facing sinking poll numbers and desperate to reset a campaign that has perhaps reached its lowest point of the year, Trump struck a rare conciliatory tone and made a bald plea for unity.
Fox News and CNN said Mr. Trump would endorse Mr. Ryan, the top US elected Republican, in his re-election bid at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which is Mr. Ryan’s home State.
Now, Trump said, Republicans need to come together to defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall.
The former secretary of state sought to “clarify and explain” a recent statement on Fox News Sunday that FBI Director James Comey said her answers to the bureau about her use of a private email server were “truthful”.
“I think the arguments of just staying on message and hitting Hillary Clinton is the right message”, Borelli said.
She also acknowledged that many people don’t trust her.
“It doesn’t make me feel good when people say those things, and I recognize that I have work to do”, Clinton said.
After a rough week where he went from criticizing the family of a slain Muslim US soldier to ejecting a wailing baby from a campaign event, Trump managed, polls quickly suggested, to make his own path to the presidency steeper, in part by alienating critical voters and volunteers from his own conflicted party.

Nehlen, despite Trump’s endorsement of Ryan, is still barnstorming the district over the final few days.
