New York Rep. Peter King made it crystal clear who he's not voting for in his home state's pivotal primary today – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

'First of all, in case anybody gets confused, I'm not endorsing Ted Cruz. I hate Ted Cruz, and I think I'll take cyanide if he got the nomination,' King said this morning on Morning Joe.

King was on the show to play pundit and said he thought frontrunner Donald Trump, a native New Yorker, would win the state big tonight.

'I endorsed Marco Rubio and he lost,' King explained.

'With John Kasich, if I thought that John Kasich had a viable chance, I'd come out and endorse him, but I want to keep my powder dry because this may go to the convention.'

King quickly walked that statement back saying he thought a Kasich nomination was a 'real possibility.'
