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.

As in the ‘caste’ system?
The dazed and confused kamakruzies hunker down in their bunkers. After being routed in NY, Pa.,Ct, De, RI and MD they await the further Trumpian onslaught.
Intelligence reports are bleak. Their west flank (CAL) is collapsing and their center of last hope,(IND) is failing to hold.
Trying to find some hope they tune their radios in to Tokyo Ted. He exhorts them to fight to the last in the republican civil war. Wonder weapons are coming the radio crackles, that will turn the tide in the second, third, etc ballots. Double agents are infiltrating the Trumpian forces, which will betray the Donald in Cleveland.
All the kamakruzies need to do is keep hoping so that Tokyo Ted can complete his theft and betrayal operations to eliminate the Donald.
The kamacruzies, their eyes glazed over, hug their radios in states of bliss.
Tokyo Ted then sets aside the microphone satisfied. He has given his kamacruzie suckers, hope for another day. But he is troubled. Should his underhanded strategies by some miracle work, he wonders what then?
There are occasions he recalls the civil war between Sparta and Athens and how soon after, they were conquered by the Macedonians. He fears for his chances leading a shattered republican remnant against their common enemy, the goblin queen and her army of orcs.
But then he casts a wicked smile. Revenge against the Donald is all that matters. After that, who cares?

ok that’s it cruz. i had no choice to work for fiorina when she was hired to spin-cycle hp/agilent. but i don’t have to work for her again under you. sen. sessions had you pegged. i will not be associated with you or fiorina ever again. in any capacity. period.
Hey it’s a tough job but somebody’s got to be the conscience of FR from glory days of past. Vey series. Ash alert. Hugh! Etc etc
In other news.. Lyndsey Graham picked Barney Frank as his vp... and George Pataki will announce his cabinet this weekend..
I don’t know though its clear it is a hopeless case.
Now the question is can Trump beat Hilary with such high negatives. I know conservatives who say they won’t vote for Trump but will stay home.
Cruz the “strict Constitutionalist”
What a joke.
See what $500 thousand will get ya!

His only option is to name a VP choice and match Cruz step for step.
Match step for step? Hilarious. Cruz lost every single county in five states yesterday. It’s clear now Cruz and his surrogates prefer Hillary to Trump. How principled and conservative of them.
Talk about baiting trolls - anyone responding to that will get a permanent ban.
Just to let that sink in a bit for the denialhards.
You are asking to be banned for that remark!
Now the question is can Trump beat Hilary with such high negatives. I know conservatives who say they wont vote for Trump but will stay home.
Well isn’t that point of Cruz’s “Trump & Hillary are two peas in a pod” voter suppression campaign? Cruz can’t win the nom. In any other year would have done the principled thing and rallied to the presumptive nom as has been historically done. But that isn’t happening and we both know why. Cruz is trying to “Goldwater” Trump for the general. FRiend, don’t be afraid to admit you prefer Hillary to Trump. It’s clear as day what Cruz and his surrogates are up to now.
Cruz saves another Horse from the Glue Factory!
Too bad she is a LOSER and has ZERO appeal.
Then the radio crackles again. It’s the voice of Glenn Beck saying the last few paid Cruz operatives are hunkered down at FR, mostly since Saturday. Still, they may pop up.
Keep on fighting for the mormon white horse ‘prophecy’ Glenn says. Then laughs, before the microphone is cut off a couple of seconds too late.
Wonder if LyinTed will be naming his fantasy cabinet....another BIG announcement....tomorrow. ;-)
Poor delusional thing.
So promoting values that reflect the interests of the American people - as the people themselves understand them - is a heretical virus infecting constitutional conservatism? That is your view? Why did the founding fathers allow for voting at all. Why didn't they just create a house of lords to do what is best for the people.
Tell me - how does this peculiar view of yours differ from the head pigs of a central communist committee determining what is best for the barnyard animals.
You've lost it man. Simply lost it.
