Defeated Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz has endorsed Donald Trump in the race for the White House.
The Texas senator, who fought Mr Trump in a bitter primary battle, announced his plans in a Facebook post.
Mr Cruz said he would fulfil his promise to vote for the Republican nominee and that electing Hillary Clinton would be "wholly unacceptable".
He drew ire at the Republican National Convention in July, when he was booed off stage for not endorsing Mr Trump.
"This election is unlike any other in our nation's history. Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election," his statement read.
"After months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump."
Mr Cruz said he decided to back his former foe due to six key policy differences between Mr Trump and Hillary Clinton, including the fate of the Supreme Court, Obamacare, immigration and energy.
