Donald Trump Endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan, Ending 4-Day Standoff

GREEN BAY, Wis. (CNN) -- Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, days after he saying he wasn't "quite there" yet.

"We will have disagreements, but we will disagree as friends and never stop working together toward victory. And very importantly, toward real change," Trump said, reading off notes at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "So in our shared mission, to make America great again, I support and endorse our speaker of the House, Paul Ryan."

Trump earlier in the week had declined to endorse Ryan, as well as Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte. But he then endorsed the Arizona and New Hampshire senators in their primary races.

"And while I'm at it, I hold in the highest esteem Sen. John McCain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office, and I fully support and endorse his re-election. I also fully support and endorse Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire," Trump added.
