South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Wednesday said she hoped Ted Cruz would pull through with the Republican nomination.
The statement comes a day after Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the candidate she had previously supported, suspended his campaign.
"I thought that Marco Rubio was and is an amazing public servant. I think that he really tapped into so much of what people want in terms of the American dream," Haley told reporters in Columbia, according to a video. "I think he had a lot of knowledge in terms of what they had to do, but it obviously wasn’t his time. You know the only thing I can say now is my hope and my prayer is that Sen. Cruz can come through this and that he can really get to where he needs to go."
Haley declined to say whether she would formally endorse Cruz, remarking, "I don't know that that part matters."
"If anybody asks me, that's what I want to see happen," she said.
In assessing Cruz's path to the nomination, Haley said the Texas senator has been "solid and strong the entire way."

If that was the case, why did he get pummeled even in his home state?
Indeed.
All that's left is negotiating the price.
It sure is. Her endorsement did wonders for Rubio in SC.
It looks like the establishment is getting behind their candidate.

Wondered what Nikki would do once Rubiorino dropped out. Excuse me, "suspended his campaign." Too bad Nikki has no use for Donald Trump.
If the race comes down to Trump and Killary, wonder who she'll support then?

Cruz keeps racking up the amnesty endorsements. Bush, Haley, who’e next?
Nope. No one else’s opinion of Cruz makes any difference to me. I don’t need anyone else to tell me what my values are.
She will become a revolving government door employee. She has been promised something by the GOPe when her term as governor is over. I’ll bet.
Very good. LOL
Remember he has to rely on someone’s money. I’m sure a few PACs are running his show, he’s just the actor.
The GOPe says jump higher.
Now bark like a dog.
Nikki le gusta a los ninos cubanos.
Ted shoudl tell her to take a flying freakin leap and take out a restraining order against her!
Willard.
I’m sure the White House has lots of bathrooms that need to be cleaned.
Seriously, then she’s going to wipe her butt and take a dump.
“Cruz keeps racking up the amnesty endorsements. Bush, Haley, who’e next?”
Krispy Kreme? The biggest amnesty pro-muzzle in the race?
Oh yeah, he already endorsed Trump.
I would never trust the backstabbing Nikki Haley. She just wants Trump to lose. Then she will turn on Cruz. Though maybe she would support Cruz or anybody where there is a question, right or wrong, regarding nbc.
She’s cheating on Marco! Tramp!
