Ted Cruz to appear with Pence at Iowa rally on Thursday: Report
By Al Weaver (@alweaver22) • 11/2/16 6:02 PM
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is set to appear with Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence at a campaign rally on Thursday in Prole, Iowa, according to reports.
The event will mark the first time Cruz will appear alongside either Pence or Donald Trump on the campaign trail since announcing his support for the Republican ticket.
Cruz announced in late September that he will vote for the GOP nominee, whom he declined to endorse in his speech before the Republican National Convention in July, when he called for the American people to "vote your conscience" and was subsequently booed by the GOP crowd.
The Texas senator could be of benefit in Iowa — a state Trump currently leads — as he won the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses back in February, topping Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio.
A Cruz representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
