Meghan McCain on Wednesday said Carly Fiorina’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has influenced her opinion of the Texas senator.
“I’ve been hesitant about Ted Cruz and the Carly Fiorina endorsement has swayed my personal opinion,” McCain, the daughter of Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain, said on Fox News, The Right Scoop reported.
{mosads}McCain said she was a “huge” fan and supporter of Fiorina during her presidential campaign. She noted that Fiorina’s endorsement of Cruz could have a “major impact.”
“I think her most notable moment was when Donald Trump talked about her face and she responded so eloquently during the debate,” McCain said.
“And I think she has the capacity to get a lot of young conservative women taking a second look at Ted Cruz.”
Fiorina, who suspended her campaign last month, endorsed Cruz Wednesday, praising him as a political outsider.
“Ted Cruz has always been a constitutional conservative,” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO said during a Miami rally.
