Erie County Republican Committee Chairman Nicholas Langworthy announced his endorsement of Donald Trump Thursday.
His endorsement came after former presidential candidate Mitt Romney publicly criticized the Republican front-runner. Langworthy tells WBFO News he believes Romney’s comments will only increase the number of Trump supporters.
"I support Donald Trump for president. I endorse him," Langworthy said. "I think Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee of our party. I think he will continue to win states. He's capturing a mass crowd of enthusiasm."
Langworthy says Romney’s comments has disrespected the public, and that he sees undecided voters switching over to Trump’s side.
