rump has told the Washington Post he will "never withdraw" from the race, following calls from several in his party to do so.
“I’d never withdraw. I’ve never withdrawn in my life,” Trump told the paper in a phone call. “No, I’m not quitting this race. I have tremendous support.”
“People are calling and saying, ‘Don’t even think about doing anything else but running,” Trump went on to say when asked about party defections.
He also took the opportunity to have another dig at rival Hillary Clinton, saying she's made it easier for the party to stay behind him.
“It’s because she’s so bad. She’s so flawed as a candidate. Running against her, I can’t say it’d be the same if I ran against someone else, but running against her makes it a lot easier, that’s for sure.”
