For the first time today Trump finally tweeted something, and it happens to be a big campaign event coming for Ted Cruz:

I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October. I’m picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find. As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement. His opponent is a disaster for Texas – weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!

If you remember, Ted Cruz asked Trump to campaign for him earlier this month:

Cruz told The Houston Chronicle during a campaign stop in Seguin, Texas, on Monday that he had contacted Trump and that he would “welcome” the president’s support. “I hope to see him in Texas,” Cruz told the Chronicle. “I think we are likely to see the president down in Texas before the election.”

So it’s good to see Trump going all in for Cruz, especially considering he asked. it would look pretty bad if Trump didn’t do it.

I know it’s 2 years ago now but Trump won Texas by just under 10 points in 2016, with Trump taking 52% and Hillary getting 43%. So hopefully his campaigning for Cruz will give him a boost.



UPDATE: Cruz responds!

Terrific! Texas will be glad to see you. Working together, we’ve won major victories for the people of Texas: historic tax cuts, repealing job-killing regulations, rebuilding the military & confirming strong constitutionalist judges. And as a result, the Texas economy is booming!
