Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) announced Thursday that Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) endorsed his bid for the presidency.

“As a former businessman, I know that Mitt Romney is the right candidate to get both California and the country’s economy on the right track again," Issa said in a statement released by Romney's campaign. "The country would be well served to have someone who knows how the economy works and has worked in the private sector. President Obama never worked in the real economy – we can’t afford to have another president who has spent his career outside the real economy.â€
