Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) announced Tuesday morning that he's throwing his support behind Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Republican presidential race. Walker says that he thinks Cruz is the GOP candidate who has the best chance of beating Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton in the general election.
"It was an easy call for me," Walker said, noting that Cruz has a "strong record like Reagan did."
