Former Vice President Dan Quayle is endorsing Donald Trump for president, believing that the presumptive GOP candidate can defeat Hillary Clinton.
“I’m going to support the nominee,” Quayle said in an interview on the “Today Show” this morning. “And I predict that most people in my position or people that have been in the Republican Party for a long time will rally around the nominee.”
Quayle believes the party will unite behind Trump.
“If we’re not unified, then we have a real lot of trouble at stake,” he said.
This morning, Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan, who had been hesitant to endorse Trump, released a joint-statement that stated that it is “critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles,” although Ryan hasn’t explicitly endorsed Trump just yet.
