Former Massachusetts senator Scott P. Brown, a moderate Republican who two years ago ran for Senate in New Hampshire, will endorse Donald Trump at rally here Tuesday night, one week before the state's presidential primary.
Brown's decision has been closely guarded for days, but it was confirmed by two people familiar with the event, where Brown will appear onstage with the candidate.
When reached early Tuesday afternoon, the Trump campaign's spokesperson would not discuss the rally or possible guests. Brown was unavailable for comment.

“...a moderate Republican”
“In politics the middle way is none at all.” - John Adams
Not good.
Yes, several. McCain, Rubio, Graham, and Nikki Haley to name a few.
Is anyone surprised that a liberal, pro-choice NE Republican is endorsing Trump?
No. Does not help me gravitate toward DT.
Me, too. He was my state senator.
Some selected highlights on Scott Brown on some issues:

Scott Brown DESPERATELY wants to be picked to be on a ticket as VP candidate.
Great endorsement for the RINO vote!
For freepers, not so much, other than the hardcore Bridge Club members (Trump , Bridge, get it?) who will suddenly remember that Scott Brown is a “tea party hero”!! Which in fairness, he was, one of the first ones in fact, but then he was a typical NE RINO Senator after that, better than Suzie Collins and Yellow Snowe, but not that much better.
I should say I did fully support Brown’s MA reelection bid and NH bid (though I didn’t think he should run there NH GOP couldn’t find anyone else and was allegedly gonna vote like a NH Republican instead of a MA Republican if he had won), much preferable to Liawatha and Shaheen.
Good thing.
North eastern liberal endorses north eastern liberal candidate. No surprise here.
I didn’t know that February was RINO mating season in the Northeast. Now I do.
Scott Brown works for Goldman Sach's lobbying firm Nixon Peabody. He also has received campaign donations from Goldman Sachs.
Brown has the GS cooties and now Trump is beholden to Brown.
Didn’t Trump mention Scott Brown as VEEP?
Scott Brown is equal on amnesty than Ted Cruz.
Cruz wants to pander to hispanics to some degree and Brown wants to pander to white women to some degree.
Brown and Trump are chasing the notheast white women vote.
This is the guy who lost to Sen. Fauxcahauntis, correct?
Brown is 10 times better than Rick Perry or Carson on illegals.
Ann Coulter and radio host Howie Carr will be campaigning with Trump.

Yesterday, the anti-immigrant group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) announced its endorsement of Massachusetts state Senator and GOP Senate candidate Scott Brown. ALIPAC commends Brown for opposing “amnesty†and for denying undocumented immigrants drivers licenses as a state legislator and his opposition to granting undocumented youth in-state tuition:
