A day after Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced Carly Fiorina as his running mate, Fiorina told WTHR Sunrise that she brings a lot of heart to the fight for the American people.

"I hope I'm bringing a complementary set of experiences," she said. "I think it's a fight for the soul of our party and I think it's a fight for the future of our nation."



She said there's a lot at stake and Indiana's May 3 primary is going to play an important role in the race for president.

"What we're going to do is spend the next six days crisscrossing this state, speaking to as many Indianans as we can about what's at stake," she said. "I truly believe that our opportunities and our possibilities as a nation are at stake because our possibilities and potential are being crushed. They've been crushed for a long time."



She said Ted Cruz is the clear choice for president.



"Just because someone puts an 'R' on their jersey, doesn't mean they're going to do the things necessary to restore prosperity, or to protect our liberties, or to keep us safe," Fiorina said. "Ted Cruz will."

She said the other candidates don't scare her.

"What scares me is what's happening to this nation," she said. "What scares me is the fact that we have more and more power and money concentrated in Washington DC and New York City. As that power gets concentrated, the possibilities and the opportunities for people all across this nation become diminished.



"That's what's at stake here."
