INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Governor Mike Pence, the likely vice president with GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump, didn't even vote for his possible running mate, endorsing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) before he lost the Indiana primary and dropped out of the race.
That said, it wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic endorsement:

Pence: whoever wins the Republican nomination for the U.S. "I am going to work my heart out" to help this fall @rtv6 @IndyThisWeek

Sen. Cruz spent more time campaigning in Indiana than any other presidential candidate, an effort which grew after he struck a deal with fellow potential GOP presidential candidate, Gov. John Kasich, to split up some of the remaining primaries to attack Donald Trump, rather than battle each other.
Pence was under pressure from the Republican party to endorse Cruz because he was in danger of losing Indiana, which he ultimately did fairly handily.
