Bob Dole endorses Trump, says he’ll attend Cleveland convention
WASHINGTON
Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole endorsed Donald Trump for president on Friday, becoming the only former Republican presidential nominee to do so.
Dole, who was his party’s nominee in 1996, will also attend the Republican convention in Cleveland in July, where Trump is expected to be nominated. Former presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush have said they won’t endorse Trump or go to Cleveland.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 nominee, won’t go to Cleveland, and nor will former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the 2012 nominee.
“We must unite as a party to defeat Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is our party’s presumptive nominee and our best chance at taking back the White House this November,” said Dole, 93, in a statement posted to the Trump campaign website.
