Scott Brown to Endorse Trump in NH

Scott Brown endorsed Republican billionaire Donald Trump just before a rally here tonight.

Earlier this month, Trump attended a rally hosted by Scott Brown in Portsmouth, N.H., where he spoke of Brown as a potential running mate.

After spending half of a decade in the MA state senate, Brown was elected to the U.S. Senate in a 2010 special election to fill the seat long occupied by Ted Kennedy. Brown supports abortion rights and an assault weapons ban but he has blue collar and populist tendencies. His profile and personality, however, are blue collar and populist.

There were hints that Brown would endorse Trump. Brown has said that Trump was going to be “the next president of the United States”.

On the endorsement front, Brown is the first USA senator, current or former, to formally back Trump.

Mr. Brown, who ran unsuccessfully for the Senate from New Hampshire in 2014 after losing his MA re-election bid to Elizabeth Warren, was believed to be set to endorse Mr. Trump several weeks ago.

“Somebody who is not afraid to make a decision and doesn’t always follow the polls; sometimes who will be politically incorrect and will do what’s best for this country….” Someone who can actually bring people together, put them in a room, shut the door, and actually negotiate some kind of agreement….

That somebody is Trump.
