| Rudy Giuliani told supporters on Wednesday he is abandoning his bid for president and backing Republican rival and longtime friend John McCain.
Representative Peter King, a New York Republican and adviser to Giuliani, said the former mayor called him this morning to tell him of his plan.
Representative Peter King, a New York Republican and adviser to Giuliani, said the former mayor called him this morning to tell him of his plan.
King said he said he expected Giulani to make an endorsementon Wednesday.
''I expect him to be fairly active for McCain. There is a real friendship and respect between the two,'' he said. A similar call took place between Giuliani and New York Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, the lawmaker said in a statement.
Once the Republican presidential front-runner, the former New York mayor suffered a debilitating defeat in Tuesday's Florida primary.
Giuliani finished a distant third to the winner, McCain, and close second-place finisher Mitt Romney. After the results, Republican officials had said Giuliani would endorse McCain.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the public announcement.
Speaking to supporters last night, Giuliani stopped short of announcing he was stepping down, but delivered a valedictory speech that was more farewell than fight-on.
''I'm proud that we chose to stay positive and to run a campaign of ideas in an era of personal attacks, negative ads and cynical spin,'' Giuliani said as supporters with tight smiles crowded behind him
