FORT WORTH – When it comes to President Trump, Ted Cruz says bygones are bygones.

More importantly, Texas' junior senator says he's mollified voters who were angry at him over his refusal to befriended Trump during his prime-time speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention.

That moment was the continuation of a GOP presidential race between Trump and Cruz, who eventually backed Trump against Hillary Clinton when the New York businessman unveiled a list of names that he would nominate to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"This is a long, long time ago," Cruz said during a recording of Lone Star Politics, the Sunday political show produced by The Dallas Morning News and KXAS-TV (NBC5). "The priority is your job, jobs, jobs."

Trump and Cruz have made it up, it will be settled on Monday when they visit the Toyota Center in Houston for a mega-rally. The incumbent Republican is in a close re-election contest against Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso.

On Friday, Trump again tweeted a message of support for Cruz, calling O'Rourke a "lightweight" who does not represent Texans' values.
