He told wealthy campaign donors he couldn't count on votes from 47% of Americans who don't pay income taxes and believe they are entitled to government help
During a Wednesday forum in Washington with Spanish-language television network Univision, Romney said his campaign is about 100 percent of Americans.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama will travel to Los Angeles and San Francisco next month for fundraising events.
