Tuesday night, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) declared his support for former President Donald Trump’s (IA) presidential campaign subsequent to his victory in this week’s Iowa caucuses.
Cruz, who stated last year that he was acquainted with both Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and declined to endorse either candidate, termed Trump’s victory on Monday night “decisive.”
Cruz stated that he did not see a path to victory for any candidate other than Trump moving forward after examining the map.
“I’m a big believer in letting democracy play out. Well, last night it played out and I gotta say, Trump’s victory was across the board, he won 51% of the vote, he won 98 of the counties.” Cruz said.
“Congratulations to President Trump on that dominating victory. And at this point, I believe this race is over. So I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States, I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically because I think it’s time for the Republican Party to unite, for us to come together.” he continued.
“We’ve got to beat Joe Biden, we’ve got to beat this disastrous cultural Marxist agenda in the White House. We got to retake the United States Senate. We’ve got to hold the House. We got to come together and win and with the results last night, the people have spoken, it’s time to move onward to victory in November.” Cruz concluded.
