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.

Teddie says “Trump is a Washington insider.”

Lyin’ Ted is as crazy as Glenn Beck, aka “Stabby the Clown.”

I am getting those "embarrassment chills" watching this on television.
Even his build-up to the announcement is making me shake my head.

[tumblindice]

“Cruz taps Carly”
“Worst headline ever:
Better double-tap just to make sure.”

I might, too, at gunpoint.
After a quart of Rebel Yell.
And a bottle of blue pills.

If the convention goes for a 2nd vote, Cruz doesn’t get to pick his VP. The delegates do. Am I right?

There is video of the TAPping?

[bugseye]

[maggief]

Ted is sounding like a televangelist.

There’s it is Lyin’ Ted and Snarly Carly.

[dvan]

This is real smart thinking! Pick a loser for your VP???????

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I wouldn’t tap it.

[who knows what evil?]

Wow...Cruz is certifiable.

[longtermmemmory]

earlier when cruz walked off his bus he mentioned Carrier A/c moving to mexico, and essentially did a “me too” to trump’s talking points.

This is an unvetted move that SCREAMS desperation. Perhaps cruz is not so smart after all.

[Parley Baer]

Pure desperation on Ted’s part. Nothing more.
