Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump may not be perfect, but he'd be much better for the country than Hillary Clinton , Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday, explaining his endorsement for the New York businessman.
Abbott, who spoke with CNBC's " Squawk Alley ," had previously voiced his support for Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, but he threw his support behind Trump after the other GOP presidential hopefuls dropped out. And although he was light on specific praise for Trump, Abbott was emphatic about the need to support him.
"I may or may not agree with everything that Donald Trump says — I didn't agree with everything that (2012 GOP presidential nominee) Mitt Romney stood for or that (2008 nominee) John McCain stood for," Abbott said. "But here's what I do know ... Hillary is far worse for America than Donald Trump would be."
