Donald Trump named Texas Sen. Ted Cruz as a potential running mate this week when asked who he'd consider for vice president.
Trump is one of the leading Republican candidates, along with Ben Carson.
Trump said it’s too early to definitively name a potential running mate, which would likely come from among his GOP opponents, but did note his affection for Cruz.
“Ted Cruz is now agreeing with me 100 percent,” Trump said November 17 on The Laura Ingraham Show.
“Well, I like like him. He’s backed everything I’ve said.”
The Hill noted that unlike most of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking Trump. The pair even appeared together in September at a rally against the Iran nuclear deal.
