Cruz claims tie with Rubio in South Carolina
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRepublican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says that his third place finish in South Carolina is effectively a tie for second place with Marco Rubio.
The Associated Press has called the race for Donald Trump, with Rubio placing second by two-tenths of 1 percentage point over Cruz, who finished third.
Cruz says Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that “last night we effectively tied for second,” adding that, “there is now only one strong conservative remaining in this race who can win.
Cruz says the “game plan from Day One was to do well in the first four states and consolidate conservatives to go forward to Super Tuesday” on March 1. “We’re positioned ideally to do exactly that.”
