Paul Ryan, the top elected US Republican,
endorsed Donald Trump on Thursday June 02,2016 in the November 08,2016 presidential
election, a step toward unifying party loyalists behind the presumptive
Republican nominee despite concerns about him.
Paul Ryan was the 2012 vice presidential running mate of Mitt Romney, who has been sharply critical of Trump.
"It's no secret that he and I have our differences. I won't pretend otherwise," Ryan wrote of Trump. "And when I feel the need to, I'll continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement."
Ryan did not specifically use the word "endorse" in his column, but his spokesman, Brendan Buck, made clear that Ryan's move should be seen as an endorsement.
Ryan said he and Trump had spoken many times in recent weeks about how, "by focussing on issues that unite Republicans, we can work together to heal the fissures developed through the primary."
