WASHINGTON, April 17 (UPI) -- The top two Republicans in Congress, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, endorsed Mitt Romney in his bid for U.S. president.
"It's clear now that Mitt Romney is going to be our nominee," Boehner, R-Ohio, said in Washington Tuesday. "I think Mitt Romney has a set of economic policies that can put Americans back to work and contrast sharply with the failed economic policies of President Obama. And I will be proud to support Mitt Romney and do everything I can to help him win."
