The Boston-bred actor and reality TV star called Fiorina a “strong candidate’’ in a Twitter post after watching her recent appearance on Meet the Press.

It will be interesting to see if the tweet, sent out to Wahlberg’s over 700,000 followers, helps Fiorina gain any supporters.

According to FiveThirtyEight, the Republican presidential hopeful is still lagging behind in the polls and needs to crack the top 10 in order to participate in CNN’s upcoming debate on September 16.
