Politico reported that, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions within his inner circle, Ryan has discussed with close advisers whether he should formally withdraw his endorsement of Trump.

“Trump is not a Christian, so he doesn’t profess the same things”, Crawley said.

The consequences for both men are enormous: Mr. Ryan and other Republican leaders fear that Mr. Trump’s flagging campaign could unwind their majorities in the House and Senate, while Mr. Trump can ill afford rejection from more prominent Republicans.

A Monday back-and-forth between House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump deepened tensions in the GOP, with the influential Ryan telling congressmen that he would not campaign with the real estate magnate, who shot back terse messages advising the Wisconsin lawmaker to stick to fighting illegal immigration.

“It’s been an interesting few days”, Pence said at a Monday town hall in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He sought to change the narrative by extending debate invitations to women who have made sexual allegations against Bill Clinton and claimed that Hillary Clinton tried to silence them.

On Friday, the Washington Post released a video of Trump having an explicit conversation with then “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush, in which the presidential hopeful indicated that he could kiss any woman and grab them by their genitals because he’s famous.

Trump was asked Sunday about Pence’s statement in the vice presidential debate that the US should be prepared to strike military targets of Syrian President Bashar Assad to intervene in the country’s humanitarian crisis.

“I don’t approve of his language or what he said“.

They said the party had a duty to stand behind Trump and accused Ryan of essentially giving up on the presidential election. “He exposed Hillary and I call that leadership”.

Trump’s debate performance was exactly what those activists wanted to hear after a poor showing in the first one. But others look at Trump’s loyal bands of supporters and see no way for Republicans in other races to win without their support.

“It’s absolutely false to suggest that at any point in time we considered dropping off this ticket”, Pence said during an interview on Fox News Chanel, adding, “It’s the greatest honor of my life”. “He is our chosen representative. Cindy and I will not vote for him”, he tweeted.
