8 GOP Senators Back Fiorina's Senate Bid

WASHINGTON (CBS 5 / AP) ― Carly Fiorina has collected the endorsement of eight GOP senators, a day after announcing a run for the U.S. Senate in California.

The endorsements, announced Thursday, cover a range of backgrounds within the Republican Party—from conservative Tom Coburn to moderates such as Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.

They also include John McCain, who said he benefited from Fiorina's no-nonsense style when she served as economic adviser during his failed presidential bid last year.

Fiorina's challenger, Republican state Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, says he has the support from the majority of elected GOP officials in California. He says they can vote for him in next year's primary, while the senators endorsing Fiorina cannot.

The winner will challenge incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer in the general election.
