“He’ll come and endorse over the next little while”.
Ivanka added that when Donald Trump is in charge all that counts is ability, effort, and excellence. What difference does it make?

But the freshly minted GOP nominee then lambasted the Texas senator for not honoring his pre-convention pledge to support the ultimate nominee.
