Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., said Wednesday that Republicans need to stop fighting Donald Trump now that he has risen to the top of the GOP ticket, and start helping him defeat Hillary Clinton in November.
"We have a unique opportunity to finally change course," Perdue wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post. "It is time for an outsider in the White House. It is time to let Trump be Trump, and to help him win this election."
His message was delivered even as some in the GOP establishment continue to search for other alternatives to Trump. Some are saying the Libertarian Party ticket formed over the weekend could be a way for Republicans to avoid voting for Trump, while conservative lawyer David French is also being floated as a possible alternative candidate.
Perdue, who has endorsed Trump, said GOP voters are sending a loud and clear message to the establishment that it's time for a change in Washington. But he said efforts by Republicans to find other options shows the establishment is refusing to hear it.
