Cruz caves, endorses Trump

Sen. Ted Cruz announced Friday that he was voting for Donald Trump for president, ending a months-long holdout.

“After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump,” Cruz wrote on Facebook. “I’ve made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee. And I intend to keep my word.”
