Sarah Palin to endorse Trump's bid in Iowa

January 20, 2016 03:35

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, officials with his campaign confirmed.

The endorsement provides Trump with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state's caucuses.

'I'm proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for president,' Palin said in a statement provided by his campaign.

Her support is the highest-profile backing for a Republican contender so far.

'I am greatly honored to receive Sarah's endorsement,' Trump said in a statement trumpeting Palin's decision

'She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for. I am proud to have her support,' Trump said.

In Iowa, where Palin spent years developing support, the endorsement could be especially helpful.
