Sen. Ted Cruz had refused to endorse his colleague John Cornyn before the Texas primary, but a resounding Cornyn victory Tuesday was enough to change his mind.
Cruz congratulated Cornyn, the Senate's second-ranking Republican who is seeking his third term, Wednesday via Facebook. He wrote that "John is a friend and a good man" whom he was "proud" to endorse.
"We have not agreed on everything, but we have agreed on the vast majority of issues," wrote Cruz, who has become the most powerful force in Texas politics. "Together, we're a strong and effective team for Texas."
Asked for his reaction, Cornyn spokesman Drew Brandewie said, "I don't have anything to add." - AP
