Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) made his “proud” endorsement of Donald Trump for president.
Vanity Fair: “Obviously, there are a lot of reasons why people should not endorse Trump—from the 2021 insurrection to his continued, not-very-subtle calls for further violence on his behalf. But when it comes to Cruz specifically, there are a few rather personal reasons one might have thought the GOP lawmaker would not be so eager to enthusiastically embrace Trump’s candidacy.”
