WASHINGTON, (APP/AFP) – Donald Trump reversed
course Friday and endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan for re-election,
seeking to end deep divisions within the Republican Party and stem
his presidential campaign’s bleeding after several self-inflicted
wounds.
Trump also threw his support behind Senator John McCain
of Arizona and Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, two lawmakers
facing tough re-election fights, as he pressed for party members
to overcome differences.
“We need unity. We have to win this election,” Trump told a
rally in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin, as he stressed that an
inclusive, “big tent” Republican Party is the only way to
defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November’s general election.
