Pence endorses Cruz but praises Trump | TheHill
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Friday endorsed Ted Cruz for president, but also offered praise for Donald Trump.
The Cruz camp had seen the popular governor’s support as a ray of hope as the Texas senator aims to upset Trump in the Hoosier State. But far from denouncing Trump, Pence lauded the businessman’s contribution to the political process.
“I particularly want to commend Donald Trump, who I think has given voice to the frustration of millions of working Americans with a lack of progress in Washington D.C.,” the governor said on Greg Garrison’s radio program on WIBC.
“And I’m also particularly grateful that Donald Trump has taken a strong stance for Hoosier jobs.”
Only then did he shift toward his endorsement of Cruz.
“I’m not against anybody, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary,” Pence said.
“I see Ted Cruz as a principled conservative who has dedicated his career to [advancing] the Reagan agenda,” he added.
