Pence's Cruz endorsement panned, but it probably won't matter.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is joining Ted Cruz on the presidential campaign trail on Monday, amid criticism that his endorsement of the Texas senator was tepid.

Last week, the governor praised Donald Trump and expressed support for John Kasich while announcing that he would vote for Cruz. Following harsh criticism, Pence published an op-ed about his decision, and he will appear at two Cruz campaign events on the eve of his state's primary.

Pence's endorsement of Cruz was panned by Beltway insiders, but it appears to have earned a much warmer reception in the Hoosier State.

Carmel Mayor James Brainard, a co-chair of Kasich's campaign in Indiana, said he thought the governor's initial remarks made to WIBC in favor of Cruz were "very clear."
