Bachmann to Endorse Romney

Despite her earlier criticism of his healthcare.

Former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann will endorse presumptive nominee Mitt Romney on Thursday, Romney campaign officials said. Although the move hardly comes as a surprise—Romney is the only candidate left standing—Bachmann had strong words for Romney on the campaign trail when they were foes, including her attack on the health-care plan enacted under his watch as the governor of Massachusetts, which she called “socialized medicine.” Bachmann and Romney will appear in one of the most highly sought after states: Virginia, a former Republican stronghold that went for President Obama in 2008. Meanwhile, Romney had an “off the record ” meeting with right-of-center media outlets on Wednesday.
