US Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump is reportedly planning to invest tens of millions
of dollars to put an end to the political lives of two of his former
primary opponents John Kasich and Ted Cruz after they refused to endorse
him this week.
Citing an unnamed source, Bloomberg
reported on Saturday that Trump “plans to create and fund super-PACs
specifically “aimed at ending the political careers of Cruz and
Kasich should either run for office again.”
The report said Trump
would invest some $20 million or more in one or two outside groups about
six months before their respective election days if they stand for
office again.
According to the source, the mogul “would be willing
to invest tens of millions more if necessary to ensure his former
competitors didn't win another race.”
Cruz refused to endorse
Trump during his Republican National Convention speech on Wednesday,
instead urged the audience to vote their "conscience" in the
presidential election.
Kasich also refused to show up at the convention although it was held in his home state Ohio.
