McCain Endorses Romney for GOP Nomination

HeadlineJan 05, 2012

Rep. Michele Bachmann left the stage after dropping out of the presidential race yesterday without offering an endorsement for one of the remaining candidates. Fresh off his razor-thin Iowa victory, Mitt Romney campaigned in New Hampshire on Wednesday ahead of the primary there next week. Romney picked up an endorsement from Arizona Sen. John McCain, who defeated Romney for the Republican nomination in 2008.

Sen. John McCain: “I am really here for one reason and one reason only, and that is to make sure that we make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States of America. And New Hampshire—and New Hampshire is the state that will catapult him on to victory in a very short period of time. That’s why I’m here.”
