In a statement released Friday afternoon, Donald Trump called Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) a “tough and brilliant opponent” and said he was “greatly honored” by Cruz’s endorsement.

Cruz infamously declined to endorse Trump during a primetime speech at the Republican National Convention in July, but reversed his position on Friday to throw his support behind the GOP nominee, encouraging voters to do the same.

Read the full statement below:

“I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz. We have fought the battle and he was a tough and brilliant opponent. I look forward to working with him for many years to come in order to make America great again.” – Donald J. Trump

  3. Trump: “I am greatly honored by the endorsement of Senator Cruz."
