Ted Cruz will name Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate Wednesday, according to two sources — a last-ditch move to regain momentum after being mathematically eliminated from winning the GOP presidential nomination outright.
The Texas senator will make the announcement at an afternoon rally in Indiana, which votes Tuesday in the next GOP contest. Cruz must have a strong showing in the Hoosier State to help block rival Donald Trump from securing the 1,237 delegates necessary to win the nomination, and keep alive his hopes of a contested Republican National Convention.
While it’s earlier than normal for a VP pick, I think it’s a solid move on Cruz’s part.
Honestly, I am very glad Cruz is picking Fiorina as his VP, as we’ve hoped for that all along since she endorsed him on the campaign trail.
Now voters in Indiana will get to see the full ticket and decide if Cruz/Fiorina is who they want to win the presidency.
