Ted Cruz gained the endorsement of Jeb Bush for his Republican presidential candidacy on Wednesday.
"Ted is a consistent, principled conservative who has demonstrated the ability to appeal to voters and win primary contests," Bush said in a statement. "Washington is broken, and the only way Republicans can hope to win back the White House and put our nation on a better path is to support a nominee who can articulate how conservative policies will help people rise up and reach their full potential."
Bush, who dropped out of the Republican presidential race in February, called on the GOP to "overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena."
