Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz has tapped former technology executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate in the race for the White House.
The Texas senator plans to formally unveil his pick for vice president Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis.
That's according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the plan, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized speak before the official announcement.
Cruz is trying to generate momentum for his struggling campaign. GOP front-runner Donald Trump swept primaries in five Northeastern states on Tuesday.
Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning enough delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination before primary voting ends.
But he's pushing to claim the nomination at a contested national convention in July.
The 61-year-old Fiorina endorsed Cruz earlier in the year after abandoning her own presidential bid. The former chief executive at Hewlett-Packard has never held elected office.

Geez, the only good thing about this would be that it would likely preclude Trump from selecting her as his running mate when he selects one.
Ted Cruz is just like any other politician. He says one thing in Manhattan, he says another thing in Iowa, he says whatever he needs to say to get elected and then he’s gonna do as he pleases. I think the American people are tired of the political class.” - Carly Fiorina
Wow— just wow-—I don’t get it. Majority voters dont want Teddy boy. Nice run Ted but its over after last night. This makes him look pathetic—disappointing and I voted for him twice (2nd time the runoff) but Trump for the primary.

Slightly off-topic but true, this was actually done by RMS Titanic’s Chief Baker Charles Joughin, the last survivor to leave the ship.

By the way, it's 4PM and I haven't heard anything about the announcment. Or is this Central time?
I’m listening to Neil Cavuto and he seems to have some wishful thinking that this announcement could help Cruz. Is Cavuto drinking the kool-aid, too?
Yep!
Did you see the Cruz handler move the older white guy from the front row towards the rear of the stage?
This is just...
Delusional and crazy.
I didn’t. My bad as I am reading FR!!!!!
Slang.
Cavuto is being an idiot.
Well, politics does make strange bedfellows.
How in hell did this nation get to the point where someone is this insane? Cruz picking a VP? He and his supporters live in a surreal world...sad.
Your team is better
Cruz has lost touch with reality. The man is a walking insanity time bomb.
They've been running that old Woody Harrelson comedy "Kingpin" on the cable movie channels lately.
She reminds me of his gross landlady...
Watching his announcement. CRINGE worthy of the highest order, Pathetic.
