Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has announced that he will be campaigning for John Kasich on the trail in Ohio.
Romney is expected to be speak at two Kasich events in Canton and outside Columbus on the afternoon of March 14, reports NBC News.
This comes after Romney attacked Donald Trump in a Utah press conference on March 2. The former nominee called the frontrunner a “fraud” and “phony” and said that Trump endangers the Republican Party.
The announcement comes only days before voters will be casting their vote in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, and Missouri.
Kasich has been campaigning primarily in his home state of Ohio in a last ditch effort to stay in the race. In the latest polling averages, Kasich has a slight lead, leading Trump by 3 percent (36 percent to 33 percent).
In Ohio, 66 delegates are up for grabs in the important general election “swing state.” With a win in Ohio, Kasich plans to take those delegates to the convention and win over other delegates in the event of a contested convention.
