Ted Cruz is seen phone-banking at GOP office with Trump-Pence signs
Ted Cruz was seen phone-banking at a Republican office in Fort Worth, Texas, in front of a wall covered in posters for the Donald Trump-Mike Pence ticket.
A video published by the Dallas Morning News that showed Cruz making calls on his behalf went viral on social media.
“Hi this is Ted Cruz calling,” he said on the phone. “I was calling to encourage you to come out and vote on Election Day. This election is critical for the direction of this country. I urge you to come out and support freedom, and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.”
Cruz encouraged the person on the line to get an absentee ballot or vote in person.

Cruz, who was one of Trump’s main rivals during the 2016 primary race, officially endorsed the GOP presidential nominee for president late last month.
“This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election,” Cruz wrote in a post on Facebook. “After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.”
