              Republican Ted Cruz Launches Presidential Campaign.

   by Jim Malone

   Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas became the first official
   candidate for the 2016 U.S. presidential election, announcing in a
   speech Monday he will run for president. Cruz will be part of what is
   expected to be a large field of Republican White House contenders, in
   contrast to the Democratic Party which is focused on the
   still-unnanounced candidacy of former Secretary of State Hillary
   Clinton. VOA National correspondent Jim Malone has more from
   Washington.
