US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has insisted that his campaign is united despite reports of deep divisions in the party after he made series of missteps amid indications that the Republican Party was turning against its nominee.
Speaking at a rally in Florida, Mr Trump said the campaign was “doing really well”.
US media outlets said it was in turmoil after Mr Trump repeatedly attacked parents of a fallen US soldier.
Senior Republican figures were growing increasingly concerned about Mr Trump’s behaviour following his criticism of the family of a dead Muslim American soldier and his refusal to back the re-election campaign of Paul Ryan, the house speaker.
Why this could be the week that Donald Trump has finally gone too far
Frustration at Mr Trump’s divisive tactics and insulting comments reached new heights on Wednesday, with several extraordinary developments.
“It’s never been so well united… I would say right now it’s the best in terms of being united that it’s been since we began.”
Earlier Mr Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort blamed reports of disunity on Mr Trump’s opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“This is another Clinton narrative that she put out there and the media is picking up on,” he said. “Mr Trump has appeared this week at crowds that are overflowing into the street.”
