The Boston Globe newspaper became the latest endorser of GOP presidential candidate John Kasich on Monday.
“New Hampshire Republicans can do their party a critical service on Feb. 9 by voting for an experienced political figure with a record of results, and thus dealing a blow to the divisive, demagogic candidates running on nativism and other political simplicities,” the paper wrote in an editorial published Monday evening.
The Globe praised Kasich’s record as a moderate conservative, calling him a “pragmatic, fiscally responsible executive … who is also concerned with helping the poor.”
The Ohio governor has scored a number of key newspaper endorsements in New Hampshire and Iowa over the past few weeks, including the Nashua Telegraph, Portsmouth Herald, Iowa Daily Nonpareil and the Council Bluffs.
Kasich is ranked fourth in the Washington Examiner’s presidential power rankings and took third place in a Boston Herald poll of New Hampshire voters that was released Monday.
