Republican Alex Castellanos did not support Donald Trump during the primary, but he's come around for the general election, and is now heading up a new super-PAC to support the billionaire's candidacy.
"Was he my first choice? No," Castellanos told Bloomberg Politics' "Masters in Politics" podcast. "He's now our Republican nominee. I didn't take a pledge but I'm still a Republican and a conservative and eight more years of Obama and Clinton and that kind of thing? Guess what? I want to help Donald Trump get elected president of the United States. I'll do anything and everything I can do to make that happen."
