California Rep. and former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter announced Wednesday he’s endorsing former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.

“I got to know Governor Huckabee well on the campaign trail,” Hunter said in a statement. “Of the remaining candidates I feel that he is strongly committed to strengthening national defense, constructing the border fence and meeting the challenge of China’s emergence as a military superpower that is taking large portions of America’s industrial base.”

“Along with these issues of national security, border enforcement and protecting the U.S. industrial base, I see another quality of Mike Huckabee’s candidacy that compels my endorsement,” he added. “Mike Huckabee is a man of outstanding character and integrity. I saw that character over the last year of campaigning and was greatly impressed. The other Republican candidates have many strengths and I wish them all well.”

In a speech before the Heritage Foundation conservative think tank, Vice President Dick Cheney warned that a “day of reckoning” is near if Congress fails to pass a bill soon that would replace an expiring law that expanded the government’s ability to conduct warrantless surveillance of suspected terrorists.

Last August, Congress hurriedly passed the Protect America Act after Mike McConnell, the Director of National Intelligence, told lawmakers that technology changes had lessened the ability to collect intelligence against terrorists. The law expires February 1.
