Cruz said that he isn’t “holding his breath” about getting back in the race, but that he is watching the race closely and considering his options. “My assumption is that will not happen”, Cruz said.

In an email sent to pro-Cruz convention delegates on Sunday, Cuccinelli wrote that “it is imperative that we fill the Rules and Platform Committees with strong conservative voices”.

In 2004, former Vermont governor Howard Dean ended his campaign in mid-February, but watched his home state deliver him a 22-point victory over eventual nominee John Kerry.
Oklahoma’s Republican Party received a similar letter from the Cruz campaign, state GOP chair Pam Pollard told CNN.
