Jon Huntsman will announce that he’s dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination for President and endorse Mitt Romney, Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times reports.

“It was time for Republicans to rally around a candidate who could beat Barack Obama,” Huntsman campaign manager Matt David told Zeleny.

The Huntsman campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TPM.
