Washington - Texas Governor Rick Perry, who ended his bid for the White House race in January, has endorsed Mitt Romney for President.
Perry, who earlier endorsed Newt Gingrich, now said the former Massachusetts governor, whom he once called a "vulture capitalist," has "earned the nomination."
"Today I join the many conservative Republicans across the nation in endorsing Mitt Romney for president and pledge to him, my constituents and the Republican Party that I will continue to work hard to help defeat President Obama," Fox News quoted him, as saying.
"American jobs, economic stability and national security depend on electing a new president. Mitt's vision and record of private-sector success will put America back on the path of job creation, economic opportunity and limited government," he added.
Perry's endorsement comes shortly after it emerged that Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the House, plans to end his campaign on Tuesday.
