Scott Walker endorses Ted Cruz for US president

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on Tuesday threw his support behind Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, boosting the Texas senator's backing from the party's anti-Donald Trump camp. Walker's endorsement comes a week before a key primary in his state, with frontrunner Trump and Cruz in a close race. "It's time that we elect a strong new leader, and I've chosen to endorse Ted Cruz to be the next president of the United States," Walker told local radio WTMJ.
