President Obama called presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney to �congratulate him on securing the Republican nomination,� his campaign said Wednesday.
Romney clinched the GOP nomination Tuesday night with a victory in the Texas primary. Projections estimate the former Massachusetts governor now has surpassed the 1,144 delegates required to seal victory in the Republican race.
�President Obama said that he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America�s future, and wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign,� Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement.
The Romney campaign described the call as �brief and cordial.� It said the GOP candidate thanked the president for the congratulations and wished the president and his family well.

That was his first call; the next one will be to congratulate him on winning the presidency.
