Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney continues to build his support among top establishment Republicans. Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, Illinois Rep. Judy Biggert, and former House Speaker Dennis Hastert are joining the endorsement parade Wednesday,
Politico reports.
This comes a day after the big kahuna, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, gave Romney the nod. Former Sens. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire and Mel Martinez of Florida and New York Rep. Michael Grimm also joined the Romney caravan Tuesday.
Gregg, Cochran, and Hastert backed Romney in 2008 too.
