Mitt Romney will campaign with John Kasich Monday at two stops in Ohio, NBC News has learned from a source familiar with the plans.
Romney is not expected to endorse the Ohio governor during the campaign swing, the source said, but it will be the first time Romney has campaigned on behalf of a Republican candidate this cycle.
It's a significant move for the former Republican nominee, who previously recorded campaign telephone "robocalls" for Kasich as well as Marco Rubio.
Earlier this month, at a speech in Utah, Romney lambasted frontrunner Donald Trump as a "fraud" and warned of the dangers to the Republican Party if Trump were the nominee.

Ohio is an open primary in that Independents can take a Republican ballot. However the GOP primary is closed to Democrats.
Those 17 year olds that just got cleared to vote, thanks to Bernie, they need a guiding hand. Ha.
I don’t live in Ohio so maybe I don’t understand the culture there very well...but uhm....He thinks being associated with Romney is gonna help him???
Now, if we can only get Jeb Bush to endorse Kasich.
Oh snap, he’ll be endorsing Neil’s guy Cruz.
This good news! 4 more points for Trump!
Romney/Cruz 2016 ...
I hope Mitt teaches Kasich everything he knows about losing (which is considerable).
It will cost him 4-6 pts and the state. #THANKSMITT
Ronmey was -3 in Ohio.
Somebody has to turn that around to win in the fall.
Kasich was +31 in Ohio in 2014.
Bringing in Romney seems like a negative.
Kasich is in trouble.
Arnold didn’t help.
Mitt is REALLY not going to help.
Ohio went to Obama in 2008 and (snicker) 2012.
But bring out the “B” team, yo. Who else can you call? A Bush?
LOL!!
Nice that the two losers will be travelling together...easier to spot
You talk about Low Energy Campaigning with Low Energy. A Perry Como moment in the making.
This report must be erroneous, because I clearly heard Kasich say, while grinning, that he was definitely not establishment.
Nope.
If you are an independent, you can switch parties at the polls. It’s on the Ohio website.
If you get rejected, make a huge stink about it, because the man running is also the man counting the votes.
Kasich + the Crapweasel = Trump +5
Yep, I don’t know a thing about Ohio politics but this sounds like Kasich is desperate to me too.
Any sane candidate should distance themselves from Mittens in my view.
Ohio has lost over 100K jobs because of TPP. They can thank Cruz and Rubio plus Kasich likes it.
