The wife of Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz made a campaign stop in southern Illinois yesterday.
Heidi Cruz greeted a standing room only crowd at Eckert’s Restaurant in Belleville.
Her visit comes less than a week before the state’s primary -- which could prove critical to her husband’s chances at winning the nomination.
Cruz is widely seen as Donald Trump’s main Republican rival.
And Heidi Cruz says state voters will be attracted to her husband’s consistency.
“Ted has always run a campaign on uniting this party and bringing together the different parts of this party. And we do that by running a consistent conservative where people know where the candidate stands,” Cruz said.
Ted Cruz and Trump are expected to visit the St. Louis area this week.
