Donald Trump has received a lot of criticism recently for refusing to endorse two Republican powerhouses – Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain.
In an attempt to mend the division in the Party, prominent Republican leaders – and notable Trump wranglers – are making sure to provide “strong” endorsements to these two elected officials who face tough primary challengers from the right.
Newt Gingrich starred in a new McCain political ad to “strongly” endorse the Arizona senator. Gingrich thanks McCain for being an “American hero” – a title Trump said McCain doesn’t deserve since he was “captured.”
Gingrich adds that, “John McCain is a national treasure. Someone who’s making a real difference…” He ends by urging viewers, “I hope you do everything you can to make sure Senator John McCain continues to work in Washington on your behalf” – a subtle call to action for Trump maybe?
“I strongly support Paul Ryan, strongly endorse his reelection,” Pence said in a phone interview with Fox News.
He doubled down in his endorsement by tweeting out the following:
Allegedly there was a conversation yesterday morning between Pence and Trump where Trump agreed that Pence should endorse Ryan. And according to Trump’s campaign chairman, Trump plans on supporting Ryan – possibly after the primary.
