Via The Hill:
Christian leader Jerry Falwell Jr. on Tuesday endorsed Donald Trump for the White House in a move that could reverberate in the fight for evangelical voters in Iowa.
Falwell, the son of famed televangelist Jerry Falwell, called Trump “a successful executive and entrepreneur, a wonderful father and a man who I believe can lead our country to greatness again.”
The younger Falwell is also the president of Liberty University, the nation’s largest Christian school, where Cruz launched his presidential bid in March.
“It is truly an honor to receive Jerry’s endorsement,” Trump said in a statement. “Not only is he a high-quality person, with a wonderful family, whom I have great respect for, I also consider him a very good friend, and his support means so much to me.”
