Ted Cruz finally announced his endorsement of Donald Trump late Friday in a Facebook post writing, “After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.”
“I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz,” Trump told CNN. “We have fought the battle and he was a tough and brilliant opponent. I look forward to working with him for many years to come in order to make America great again.”
Thursday, Trump expanded his team of advisers by hiring notorious homophobe Rick Santorum to his Catholic Advisory Council. Santorum has continuously fought against civil rights for LGBT Americans, such as same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination protections and supports the religious liberty movement.
Other members of Trump’s “anti-LGBT team” include Tony Perkins, Michele Bachmann, James Dobson, Marco Rubio and Sam Brownback.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will face off Monday in the first presidential debate, at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.
