Walker, On Whether He’ll Endorse A GOP Presidential Candidate: ‘Probably Not’

Gov. Scott Walker says he probably won’t endorse any of the Republican candidates for president.

Walker appeared with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at an event in Wisconsin on Tuesday, and Politico reported that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio recently asked for Walker’s endorsement. While Walker is complimentary of both candidates, he’s not endorsing either of them, and said he’s unlikely to endorse anyone in the GOP field.

“Probably not. I think my goal right now is to help fellow cheesehead Reince Priebus and some of the others with the national party build the base — not only financially, but in terms of grassroots,” said Walker.

Priebus is the chairman of the Republican National Committee and the former chair of the Wisconsin Republican Party. All of the Republican candidates for president will be in Milwaukee for a debate Tuesday night.
