Ted Cruz Announces Carly Fiorina as Vice President Pick
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced Carly Fiorina as his vice president pick after "a great deal of consideration and prayer."

Cruz praised Fiorina as a “woman of extraordinary intelligence” and “a woman of deep principle.”

“Carly respects the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and she understands the threats facing America,” Cruz said. “She understands this is a dangerous world and in naming her as my vice presidential nominee, I am also telling you that she is someone you can be confident in.”

Cruz also touted her confrontation with Donald Trump at the Sept. 16 Republican primary debate, responding to Trump’s comments on her appearance.

“She is careful and she is measured and serious and she doesn't get overly excited or rattled by everything that is getting thrown at her,” Cruz said.

Fiorina, a former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, announced her bid for the Republican nominee last year, but dropped out of the race following the New Hampshire primaries. She endorsed Cruz for president March 9 and since then has been an active surrogate on the campaign trail for the Texas senator.
