Sen. Ted Cruz has endorsed West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey in his U.S. Senate bid.
Cruz tweeted Friday:
Morrisey said in a statement he is honored by Cruz's endorsement and noted he's "pro-gun, pro-life, pro-coal, and pro-Trump. But most importantly, I'm pro-West Virginia."
He also earned an endorsement from former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka on Friday.
"Your record of conservative results and fighting for principle is unambiguous. From standing up to President Obama’s War on Coal, to expanding gun rights, to defending unborn life, your record speaks for itself," Gorka said, The Hill reported. "The U.S. Senate and President Trump could use someone with your principles and leadership fighting every day for our shared conservative values."
A poll earlier this week showed Morrisey is the frontrunner against five other Republican candidates, WSAZ reported.
