Bobby Jindal endorses Marco Rubio for president

Bobby-Jindal-2

Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is endorsing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for president.

Rubio campaign adviser Todd Harris confirmed the endorsement on Friday. It’s the second from a former GOP presidential candidate for Rubio this week.

Rubio is trying to seize on a better-than-expected third-place finish in Monday’s Iowa caucuses as he sprints across New Hampshire ahead of Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation primary.

Rubio was addressing an audience of more than 700 before the confirmation that Jindal had offered his support.

Jindal was a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination from last June until November.
