MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former Sen. Scott Brown will endorse Donald Trump for president on Tuesday night.

Sources with knowledge of the endorsement confirmed that Brown, the former Massachusetts senator who moved to New Hampshire to challenge Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), would endorse the real estate mogul and Republican front-runner at a rally Tuesday night.


Trump and Brown have fostered something of a bromance as the real estate mogul has surged to the front of the Republican primary presidential field. Trump has also publicly allowed the idea that he might pick Brown as his vice presidential nominee if he won the nomination.

Trump's campaign did not deny the endorsement, but confirmed that Brown would be at an event in New Hampshire Tuesday night.

"Senator Scott Brown will be joining leading Presidential candidate Donald Trump tonight at an event in NH where he will address the media," Trump campaign manager Cory Lewandowski said in an email.

The endorsement, first reported by the Washington Post, comes a day after Trump lost the Iowa Republican caucuses to Sen. Ted Cruz. New Hampshire's Republican primary is on Feb. 9.
