While Gov. Scott Walker enjoyed a plate of spaghetti 250 miles away, his party’s presidential candidate made news by endorsing the Republican Speaker of the House and the 2008 Republican presidential nominee in their upcoming elections.
Donald Trump has reversed course and endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan for re-election.
“We will have disagreements, but we will disagree as friends”, Mr Trump said. We need very strong leadership.
“I am just going to rise above this stuff”, he said.
House Speaker Paul Ryan says Donald Trump could cross a line that would prevent the speaker from backing him, but “Where that line is, I don’t know”.

Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, is brushing off Republican concerns of turmoil in their campaign.
In an interview, Vos said he had no indication whether Trump had read his op-ed, but said it was “definitely possible” that Trump’s opposition to Ryan could hurt him in the state in November. If I were doing poorly, if I saw myself going down, if you would stop calling me ’cause you no longer have any interest in Trump because “he has no chance”, I’d go back to my business. “She’s actually not strong enough to be president”.
