Texas Senator Ted Cruz Faced Trouble for failing to back Donald Trump

Texas Senator Ted Cruz was given trouble as he failed to endorse Donald Trump as the US Republican nominee, during a speech at the party convention in Cleveland.

Mr Cruz was his bitter rival in the primary contests.

Angry people chanted “We want Trump!” and “Endorse Trump!”.  It grew louder as the senator came to the end of his speech.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence then took centre stage to give his vice-presidential acceptance speech.

Mr Pence praised Mr Trump’s record as a businessman and said the country had “but one choice” in November.

“It’s change versus the status quo, and when Donald Trump is president, the change will be huge,” he said.
