Cruz not rushing to endorse Trump after Pence meeting

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz isn’t rushing to endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump, even after a meeting with Trump’s running mate.

Vice presidential nominee Mike Pence meets with Cruz Tuesday. The Indiana governor had endorsed Cruz in his bid for the White House. Since dropping out, Cruz has declined to endorse Trump, citing personal attacks the billionaire businessman has made against him and his family.

Cruz’s spokesman Jeff Roe says Tuesday that Cruz’s meeting with Pence was about “two fiscal conservatives hanging out.”

He declines to answer questions on whether Cruz would endorse Trump.
