Cruz hints he may get back in the race.

Speaking with radio host Glenn Beck, a supporter, Cruz did not say whether he supports Trump, but signaled to supporters they can take their time to assess him.

"This is a choice every voter is going to have to make, and I would note it's not a choice we as the voters have to make today," Cruz said. "The voters in the primary have seemed to have made a choice, and we'll see what happens as the months go forward, but I think we need to watch and see what the candidates say and do."

Cruz was also asked about the possibility of returning to the race, perhaps if he does well in the Nebraska primary being held Tuesday. Cruz replied he is "not holding my breath" for such an outcome, but made clear he would be open to the opportunity if it presented itself.

"If there is a path to victory, we launched this campaign intending to win," Cruz said, reiterating that he suspended his campaign because he did not see a "viable path to victory." "If that changes," he said, "we will certainly respond accordingly."
