Washington (CNN)Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson told CNN Thursday that Mitt Romney was considering endorsing him for president this fall.
Johnson, a former governor of New Mexico, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he and Romney had spoken in recent weeks. "I think he's considering the possibility of doing this," Johnson said, "of actually endorsing the two of us."
Romney has previously said that he would look at the ticket but has not publicly committed to supporting them.
CNN has reached out to Romney for comment.
William Weld, a Romney associate and Johnson's running mate, agreed with Johnson, especially if they meet the threshold in polling to make the general election debates.

Romney will consider voting Libertarian, praises VP candidate
By Jesse Byrnes
Mitt Romney said Friday he wouldn't rule out supporting the Libertarian White House ticket after pledging to not vote for either the Democratic or Republican presumptive nominees. "I'm going to look at what he has to say," Romney said of Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson during an interview in Park City, Utah, on CNN's "Situation Room."
"That's something that I'll evaluate over the coming weeks and months," Romney said of voting for Johnson. "I'm not ruling that out."
Romney acknowledged it would be "very hard" to support a candidate that is in favor of liberal social policies such as legalizing recreational marijuana, but said he'd "look carefully" at the Libertarian ticket.
Romney said Johnson's running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, "is someone who I respect enormously."
