(NEW YORK) — John Kasich just got a boost in the South.
The Kasich campaign announced Tuesday morning that former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, has endorsed Kasich and will serve as a national co-chair of his presidential campaign.
It’s the second major endorsement for the Ohio governor in as many weeks. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, a Republican, endorsed Kasich last week.
