Ted Cruz has moved out of the phone bank.

The Texas senator — who took his sweet time getting behind his party’s nominee — will campaign for Donald Trump on Thursday.

Cruz will appear with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence in Iowa and Michigan.

"Sen Cruz will join Gov. Pence in Iowa and Michigan today. Having Sen Cruz join the governor today underscores what he has been saying for the past few weeks and we are seeing happen across the country, it is time for Republicans to come home," Pence's press secretary Marc Lotter told USA TODAY.

Cruz and Trump have complicated relationship. During the primary Trump insulted Cruz’s wife and floated conspiracy theories about his father. At this year’s Republican convention Cruz did not endorse Trump when he gave his speech — prompting anger from many Republicans.

But in late September Cruz announced he would vote for Trump. By early October a humbled looking Cruz was phone banking for his party in front of a backdrop of Trump/Pence signs.
