Mike Huckabee criticized a new partnership between Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich, who teamed up in a last-ditch effort to block Donald Trump from reaching 1,237 delegates.
The former 2016 contender and Arkansas governor told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren the duo is more concerned with defeating the GOP front-runner than Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
“It looks like they are more interested in stopping Trump than stopping Hillary,” Huckabee said in a Monday interview.
But Huckabee was skeptical any candidate could single-handedly destroy the momentum the New York businessman has created among voters.
Huckabee also bashed the Texas senator for having said last week the Ohio governor should drop out because there was no “mathematical pathway” to winning the nomination.
“We are very close to the point and I think we may be there, where Ted Cruz doesn’t [have a pathway],” Huckabee said. “So now the question is, will Ted Cruz take a spoonful of his own medicine? Will he drop out of the race because he doesn’t have a mathematical pathway?”
