WASHINGTON — Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., threw her support Thursday behind Donald Trump as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Fischer was one of a dozen GOP senators who met with the New York businessman on Capitol Hill. After the meeting, reporters asked whether she was ready to endorse Trump.

She said she already had.

“I’ve endorsed the nominee — and he will be the nominee,” she said.

It was Fischer’s first time meeting Trump. She declined to provide specifics of the conversation.

“I enjoyed meeting with him,” she said. “He offered his views on many things. We brought up different things that are of concern to us and to the people we represent. He listened. He listened well and we had a great discussion.”

Fischer was asked whether Trump had agreed to change his rhetoric on the campaign trail.

“I didn’t ask him about his rhetoric or his tone,” she replied.

Instead, she pointed to Trump’s wide victory margin in Tuesday’s Nebraska primary, where he took more than 60 percent of the GOP vote.
