Ted Cruz announced Friday he will vote for Donald Trump, a dramatic about-face for the Texas senator who previously called the New York businessman a "pathological liar" and "utterly amoral." Cruz noted that he was booed by Trump supporters at the convention for encouraging Republicans to "vote your conscience." "After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump," Cruz wrote. "I am greatly honoured by the endorsement of Senator Cruz," Trump said Friday. Cruz finished second to Trump in a bitter primary battle and balked at previous promises to endorse the eventual Republican presidential nominee.
