Donald Trump plans to announce his support for GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney on Thursday, a source close to the Romney campaign confirms.
The real estate mogul and outsized media personality is set to make an official announcement of his endorsement Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas, at the Trump International Hotel & Tower, of course. The news comes after some outlets reported Wednesday that Trump would be endorsing Newt Gingrich.
Largely quiet since he abandoned plans to moderate a pre-Iowa caucuses debate, Trump is again stealing the media spotlight from the Republican presidential race in the brief three-day window between the Florida primary and Saturday's Nevada caucuses.
Trump very publicly flirted with a presidential run of his own before finally announcing in May -- just in time for the season finale of his reality show, "The Apprentice" -- that he would not seek the GOP nomination.
