Politico: Cruz Swatted Down Supreme Court Nomination

Ted Cruz and Donald Trump appear to have moved past their contentious campaign, but the Texas senator does not want to become the president-elect’s new Supreme Court nominee. After Cruz spoke with Trump a week after Election Day, he and his chief of staff, David Polyansky, met with Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon and rejected the potential nomination, reports Politico, and has been emerging as one of Trump’s key allies in the Senate instead.
