The Republican Party was understandably divided after what happened between Donald Trump and Khizr and Ghazala Khan following the D.N.C.. Some agreed that Trump was right to try to defend himself, but others found his actions outrageous and tactless. Now, ostensibly in a bid to try to unite the party, Trump has officially—albeit belatedly—endorsed the re-elections of Speaker Paul Ryan and senators John McCain and Kelly Ayotte.

“I support and endorse our speaker of the House, Paul Ryan,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Friday. “He’s a good man. We may disagree on a couple of things, but mostly we agree.”

This endorsement comes after Trump caused more discord within the party earlier this week when he said he was “not quite there yet” when asked if he supported Ryan's re-election. Ryan had made a similar doubtful statement back in May as to whether he supported Trump’s nomination before eventually acknowledging that he did.

Before Friday’s announcement, the Trump campaign sent out a fund-raising e-mail to all of its subscribers, followed by a text message that read “Party unity will help Make America Great Again.” At the rally, Trump officially endorsed the re-election of Ryan, McCain, and Ayotte, all of whom had, among others in the Republican Party, criticized his behavior with regard to the Khans last week.

Less than an hour before the rally, Ryan had spoken to a Milwaukee radio station, where he said that he still supported the nominee, but that Trump needs to do better at picking his battles: “I wish he would be a little more disciplined. What I say to him privately and what I’ve said publicly is Hillary Clinton is the one to focus on, not another Republican, not a private citizen criticizing you.”

At the rally, Trump also tried to mend things with the baby he'd had escorted from another of his events, complimenting its vocal range. “The baby that had a voice that was superior to Pavarotti,” he said. “I want to sponsor that baby.”

In the Clinton camp, Senator Tim Kaine spoke at a Democratic rally in Milwaukee, criticizing Trump’s inability to focus on important issues. “While we’ve been talking about jobs, Donald Trump has been going after a family of a war hero, or Donald Trump has been going after fellow Republicans and talking about why he won’t endorse them in their primaries,” he said. “We’re talking about jobs, and Donald Trump is basically shadowboxing with every enemy he can think of instead of talking about what Americans want to talk about.”
