U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, endorsed Donald Trump to be the Republican presidential nominee Tuesday evening after facing pressure from the former president to back his reelection campaign.
Cruz announced his endorsement during an appearance on Fox News with host Sean Hannity a day after Trump easily won the Iowa caucuses that kicked off the 2024 presidential race.
In the weeks leading up to the caucuses, Cruz resisted pressure from Trump’s campaign to back the former president saying he wanted to hear from the voters in Iowa.
Eight years ago, Cruz was celebrating his win in Iowa — over Trump — during his own bid for the presidency. The process of the Iowa caucuses and his experience there played into his decision to endorse Trump, he said.
I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President.
