Wis. Sen. Leader Calls For Solidarity Behind Trump
WATERTOWN, Wis. (AP) -- The top Republican in the Wisconsin state Senate is repeating his call for the GOP to get behind presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Tuesday that attempts to abandon Trump for some other alternative "is just not going to work." He says doing that would hurt other Republicans on the ballot, including U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson.
Fitzgerald told reporters "the idea of abandoning the whole Trump campaign just doesn't make any sense to me." But Fitzgerald admits there are concerns over Trump's "volatility."
But Fitzgerald says ultimately Republicans need to "think beyond just the presidential" and work to help Trump and all Republicans on the ballot.
His comments come even as fellow Republican Gov. Scott Walker is wavering in his support of Trump.
