US presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he will never drop out of the race to be president. He would never let his supporters down, he added.
Mr Trump has been under pressure after a tape from 2005 of him making obscene comments and bragging about groping and kissing women emerged on Friday.
He told the Wall Street Journal there was “zero chance I’ll quit” and he was getting “unbelievable” support.
Top Republicans have condemned Mr Trump’s remarks in the video.
Since the tape emerged, at least 10 Republican senators have either said they will not be voting for the Republican candidate in the general election in 30 days’ time, or have called for him to stand aside.
The latest to join them is former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who said Mr Trump’s comments “make it impossible to continue to offer even conditional support for his candidacy”.
And former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said: “Enough! Donald Trump should not be President. He should withdraw.”
Mr Trump’s election rival Hillary Clinton called the comments “horrific”.
His running mate Mike Pence said he was “offended” by Mr Trump’s video, but grateful he had expressed remorse and apologised to the American people.
“We pray for his family” he said in a statement
