Ted Cruz endorses Dr. Manny Sethi in Tennessee Senate race

Former presidential candidate and Texas Senator Ted Cruz formally endorsed Dr. Manny Sethi in his run for the US Senate seat being vacated by the retiring Lamar Alexander.

Cruz, who will also make an appearance in Jonesborough on Friday for the candidate, sent out the support on his social media page for Sethi who is locked in a battle with former Japanese Ambassador Bill Hagerty who earned an endorsement from former boss President Donald Trump.

Sethi has been challenging Hagerty all week for a debate prior to the August primaries.

We need conservative fighters in the US Senate that will stand up for our values. That's why I'm endorsing @DrMannySenate for US Senate.

I am urging Tennessee conservatives to join me and stand with Dr. Manny Sethi for #TNSen: https://t.co/UVSK0ZVoqC
