“It is unusual to make the announcement as early as we’re doing so now”, Cruz said.

A Trump victory in IN would get him nearer to the 1,237 delegates he requires to get the nomination; it would also mean Cruz will be bereft of a primary victory in four weeks going into the ending phase of the campaign.
John Weaver, a senior adviser to Kasich, fired off a tweet shortly after Cruz made the remarks, saying, “I can’t stand liars”. Cruz suffered demoralising losses to Trump in five states, coming in third place in all but one.
“I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary”, Pence said during an interview on Indianapolis radio station WIBC.
“Donald Trump hasn’t won this nomination yet, despite so many people in the media just wishing it would all be over and he would be our nominee”, Fiorina said when asked about Trump’s comment that the decision by Cruz was an act of “desperation”.
Cruz also continued his attacks Friday on Trump, blasting him for praising former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, who announced his support for the Republican front-runner.
In a rare move Wednesday, the junior senator announced plans to choose former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate if nominated. “I think Boehner calling [Cruz] “Lucifer in the flesh” probably helps him more”.
However, it is for first time a candidate has named a running mate prior to receiving the nomination since Ronald Reagan in 1976. However, both announced they would be in the race till the end; even in the face of disappointing news regarding the upcoming in primary.
Over the weekend, Cruz and Kasich reached an agreement in which Kasich ceded in, in exchange for New Mexico and Oregon.

Overall, Trump has 996 delegates, compared to 565 for Cruz and 153 for Kasich, according to the AP delegate count. “He has been an incredible leader for the state of Indiana”. I’m not getting to 1,237 delegates, and Donald J. Trump is not getting to 1,237 delegates. “And I am prepared to give everything I have to ensure we defeat Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton”.
