Mr Romney and his wife Ann "joined me at my home for some lemonade and cookies and I offered my firm endorsement of his campaign for president," Mrs Reagan, who lives in Bel Air outside Los Angeles, said in a brief statement.
Mr Romney has already earned enough delegates to win the nomination to face Democrat Barack Obama in the November 6 presidential election but does not officially become the nominee until the party convention in Tampa, Florida at the end of August.
"I am thrilled that after Tuesday's primary he is the clear choice, having won the magic number of 1,144 convention delegates," Mrs Reagan said.
"Ronnie would have liked Governor Romney's business background and his strong principles, and I have to say I do too." » | Source: agencies | Friday, June 01, 2012
