On July 7, Trump arrived in Washington D.C. and met with Republican members from the House of Representatives and Senate. During the meeting, Trump reportedly told the attendees if they did not support his candidacy, they were, in effect, supporting Clinton. Trump agreed to allow his former rival, Senator Ted Cruz, to speak at the convention, but he did not secure an endorsement from Cruz. The next day, both Trump and Clinton canceled campaign events as an African American shooter in Dallas 
 five police officers. Trump's state chairman in Virginia blamed the shooting on Clinton and others "who label police as racists." In the aftermath, Trump proclaimed himself the "law and order candidate." Ahead of its convention, the GOP platform committee approved a socially conservative platform that opposed same-sex marriage and identified pornography as a "public health crisis." The convention's host, Ohio governor John Kasich, a former presidential rival of Trump, would not endorse Trump and claimed through a spokesman that Trump had asked Kasich join the presidential ticket in May, but Kasich had declined. Trump's spokesman denied the claim. Another former rival, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, said he might vote for Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson instead of Trump. On the other side, Hillary Clinton's principal rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, dropped his campaign and officially endorsed Clinton. Clinton also seemingly received support from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who called Trump "a faker" and wondered why he has "gotten away" with not releasing his tax returns. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy questioned whether the country was "well served" with a Supreme Court justice openly discussing her political views. Trump referred to Ginsburg's comments as "highly inappropriate." Ginsburg later apologized.
