SENATOR BOB DOLE ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR DONALD J. TRUMP

(New York, New York) May 6, 2016 - Today, Donald J. Trump received the support of former U.S. Senator Bob Dole. Senator Dole is also a former Republican Presidential nominee and a former Republican National Committee chairman.

Mr. Trump stated, “I want to thank Senator Bob Dole for his endorsement. He is a wonderful man and it is a great honor to have his support.”

Senator Dole said, “The voters of our country have turned out in record numbers to support Mr. Trump. It is important that their votes be honored and it is time that we support the party's presumptive nominee, Donald J.Trump. I plan to attend the RNC convention in Cleveland to show my support for our party and our ticket, as I have done my entire life. We must unite as a party to defeat Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is our party’s presumptive nominee and our best chance at taking back the White House this November.”

DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONSE TO LINDSEY GRAHAM

"I fully understand why Lindsey Graham cannot support me. If I got beaten as badly as I beat him, and all the other candidates he endorsed, I would not be able to give my support either. Every time I see Lindsey Graham spew hate during interviews I ask why the media never questions how I single-handedly destroyed his hapless run for President. As a candidate who did not receive 1% in his own state - compared to my victory at nearly 40% with many others in the race - he has zero credibility. He was a poor representative and an embarrassment to the great people of South Carolina. Judging by the incompetent way he ran his campaign, it is easy to see why his military strategies have failed so badly --- we can’t even beat ISIS!

While I will unify the party, Lindsey Graham has shown himself to be beyond rehabilitation. And like the voters who rejected him, so will I!"
