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."

FUNH
Still shopping for a Cabinet job.
That’s the big endorsement that Ted was waiting for to finally turn his campaign around. /s
Too late
On the plus side, could this cause some Cruz supporters to be ready to jump ship?
2 Men in 2 Months...
Nikki Haley is anti-Trump. That’s her gig.
Kiss of Haley Death.
HAHA who next, Kasich?
Noooooooo.....
She needs to have a pimp.
Might be the kiss of death...
She’ll go from one anti-Trump candidate to another, then she’ll side with the gope smearing him every chance she gets. Once Trump gets the nomination, and possibly the presidency, she’d be one of the first in line looking for some kind of job in his administration.
hers is a very highly sought and effective endorsement.
/s
What a cowardly woman.
yippee!
Just remember, if someone endorses my guy, he’s a prince among men. If he endorses your guy, he is a bum.
That’s the rule.
Hey Nikki! How about backing the candidate your constituents overwhelmingly voted for!
