Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Jeff Sessions endorsing Trump would be more of a blow to Cruz than anything – Cruz propped him repeatedly up during many debate answers.

Ted Cruz made a hard, hard play for Jeff Sessions' endorsement. To lose it to Trump, ESP after Trump just played public footsie w/KKK…oof.

1/ Three notes about Sessions. 1. People moved by this news are already entirely on lock for Trump. This does not move anyone else.

2/ Honest, fam. You may know Sessions, but no. one. else. does. National name ID is zero.

3/ Nice play to get off the KKK story.

Upon learning that righteous amnesty opponent Jeff Sessions has endorsed Trump, I’m now … still voting Cruz, of course

Since Trump isn't too familiar with the organization, it will be awkward when Sessions tries to explain the jokes. https://t.co/ssqGZujZa6

So Trump beats back KKK contro with endorsement from guy denied a federal judgeship for calling black atty "boy" and telling Klan jokes

Trump defends a Mussolini quote, won't reject the KKK, and *now* Jeff Sessions endorses him?

Sessions takes stage at Trump rally confirming his endorsement. Shameful. Or shameless. Whatever. Screw him.

Sessions endorsement of Trump hurts Cruz. No doubt. Very perplexing.

Backstory: Sessions counseled Trump last summer on immg. plan. They huddled in Sept. at Cap. In Jan, Sessions top aide joined Trump camp.
