Trump lauds supporters, criticizes Republicans and Democrats
The billionaire mogul on Friday urged his Nebraska supporters to help him break the record for most votes in a Republican primary by turning out to vote Tuesday, but he made little mention of uniting the party behind him now that he's his party's presumptive presidential nominee.
The request marked a change from Thursday night, when Trump told supporters in West Virginia to not bother casting primary ballots and to wait until the general election in November because he'd already effectively won the GOP presidential nomination.
In Eugene, however, he brought up her husband's infidelities for the first time since he became his party's presumptive nominee and dismissed her criticism of how he treated women.
The GOP candidate also railed against other prominent Democratic women, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who had labeled him a bully on Twitter earlier in the day.
Trump's advisers have begun conversations with the Republican National Committee on coordinating fundraising and tapping the committee's extensive voter data file and nationwide get-out-the-vote operation.
News emerged Friday that Trump will be holding a fundraiser later this month to help New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pay off his own presidential campaign's debt and to raise money for that state's Republican Party.
According to an emailed invitation, Trump will appear with Christie at what is being billed as a "New Jersey rally" in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, on May 19.
