Cruz denies an Indiana loss would end campaign
May 01, 2016
"I agree that Indiana is incredibly important," Cruz added.
Cruz in the days leading up to the primary has announced former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate and gained the endorsement of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R).
He also cut a deal with rival Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the hopes of boosting his chances in the Hoosier State. In exchange for Kasich pulling out of Indiana, thus helping Cruz gain more support in the state, the Texas senator would forgo campaigning in New Mexico and Oregon to pave the way for Kasich to best Trump in those states. The deal was struck in an attempt to stop Trump from securing the GOP nomination.
However, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Sunday shows Trump with a 15-point lead over Cruz in the state, with 49 percent support among likely Republican primary voters.
