Bachmann hopes to unify party with Romney endorsement
By NBCs Jamie Novogrod and Garrett Haake
Orlando, Fla. and Pentagon City, Va. Michele Bachmann will endorse Mitt Romney during a campaign event Thursday in Portsmouth, Virginia, sources within the Romney campaign told NBC News.
The news comes at the tail end of a string of endorsements secured by Romney in recent weeks, following the departure of his chief rival in the race, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Party leaders, including House Speaker John Boehner, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry a former fellow candidate all soon fell in line.
But Bachmanns endorsement may represent another kind of victory for Romney, who has tried for months to woo support from the same Tea Party Republicans who found a hero in Bachmann last summer, propelling her own brief run for President.
In Bachmann, he has one of their leaders in his corner.
