In a statement late Sunday night, Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, said that the campaign would “focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Governor Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico.”
Moments after Roe’s statement, the Kasich campaign released a similar message. The Ohio governor’s chief strategist, John Weaver, said that his campaign would shift its resources to other states and “give the Cruz campaign a clear path in Indiana.”
Trump responded on Twitter, calling the move “desperation."
“Wow, just announced that Lyin' Ted and Kasich are going to collude in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination. DESPERATION!” he tweeted.
