As reported by The Hill, Ted Cruz will soon endorse Donald Trump for president. This could happen as soon as Friday. In July at the Republican National Convention, Cruz refused to offer his support to the Republican nominee. At that time, he said “Stand and speak and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and be faithful to the Constitution.”

The U.S. Senator from Texas and former presidential candidate stated that his decision was at lest in part due to Trump’s attacks on his father and wife. He reasoned that “I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father…Neither he nor my campaign has taken back a word of what they said about my family.”
