TAMPA, Fla. (February 1, 2012)--Coming off a decisive in Florida’s primary election, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said Wednesday his campaign is squarely focused on middle-income Americans, rather than those at either end of the spectrum.

In an interview Wednesday morning, the Republican presidential front-runner told CNN he's "not concerned about the very poor" because a safety net exists for them.

"If it needs repair, I'll fix it,” he said.

Romney went on to say that he's also not concerned about the very rich.

Instead, he says, he’s focusing on "the 90-95 percent of Americans who are struggling."

Romney was headed to Minnesota and Nevada for campaign events Wednesday, while Newt Gingrich is also Nevada. Gingrich lost Florida's winner-take-all primary by 14 percentage points, but is vowing to stay in the race.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul was also in Nevada, where he has spent months organizing for Saturday's caucuses.

Rick Santorum made appearances in Nevada Tuesday and was scheduled to make stops in Montana and Colorado Wednesday.
