Longtime Wyoming senator endorses Kasich

Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson endorsed John Kasich for president on Wednesday, and cited the Ohio governor’s electability as a principal reason for his selection.

“I served in Congress with John. He really is the only candidate who can defeat Hillary Clinton in the general election,” Simpson said in a statement shared by the Kasich campaign. “Further, he has a proven record of experience that is wholly unknown to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Today, I am extremely proud to endorse Gov. Kasich and support his campaign for president.”
