Indiana Gov. Mike Pence threw his support behind U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz  Friday afternoon, just days before Indiana's critical Tuesday primary.

 

But he stopped short of calling on others to vote for the Texas senator, praising Republican front-runner Donald Trump too.

 

"I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary," Pence said on a conservative radio talk show hosted by Greg Garrison on WIBC-FM (93.1).

 

"I see Ted Cruz as a principled conservative who has dedicated his career to advocating the Reagan agenda," he said, citing the Texas senator's opposition to out-of-control spending, efforts to repeal Obamacare, devotion to the U.S. Constitution and "strong and unwavering stand for the sanctity of life."
