Pence Endorses All GOP Congressional Incumbents
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
A spokesman says Mike Pence is endorsing all GOP congressional incumbents who are seeking re-election even as Donald Trump hesitates to support several of the party's most prominent members of Congress.
The mass endorsement is the latest attempt by Pence to smooth over turmoil within the Republican Party stirred by Trump in recent days.
Trump previously refused to endorse Arizona Sen. John McCain, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Before issuing the blanket endorsement Thursday, Pence on Wednesday endorsed Ryan in his GOP primary, which is next week.
