Marco Rubio gets endorsed by a New Kid

Donnie Wahlberg thinks Marco Rubio has the right stuff.

New kids on the Block member Donnie Wahlberg has officially endorsed Marc Rubio for President on Sunday.

First in a statement, then later appearing with the GOP candidate at a north Las Vegas rally before Nevada holds its Republican caucuses.

Wahlberg told the crowd he’s never voted for a Republican before, but Rubio changed his mind.

An endorsement from Wahlberg, a Boston native, may come in handy as part of Rubio’s efforts to hang tough on “Super Tuesday”, a packed primary day calendar where many states, including Massachusetts, will cast their votes.
