Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz will
pick up his first Senate endorsement Thursday when Sen Mike Lee, a
Republican from Utah, will announce he's backing Cruz, sources familiar
with the decision tell NBC News.
The endorsement comes just days before key
contests in Ohio and Florida, and it gives the Texas Republican momentum
after winning Idaho on Tuesday and receiving the endorsement of former
Republican candidate Carly Fiorina on Wednesday.
Lee was one of only three GOP senators who
missed today's Senate vote on a bill to aid those affected by opioid
abuse. The other two were Sens Rubio and Cruz.
While Cruz has become a divisive figure within
the Republican conference in the Senate, Lee is considered one of his
only allies, and at a recent campaign stop Cruz said Lee was "someone I
love like a brother."
