"CBS SUNDAY MORNING" Senior Contributor Ted Koppel sat down with Donald Trump in Cleveland for a wide-ranging interview, prior to his speech Thursday night at the Republican National Convention. A portion of it was broadcast today, Friday, July 22 on CBS THIS MORNING and the full interview will be broadcast on the July 24 edition of CBS SUNDAY MORNING (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network.

Trump talked with Koppel about Sen. Ted Cruz' speech at the Republican National Convention, his relationship with the media, the controversy surrounding Melania Trump's speech, the enthusiasm of Trump campaign supporters, and what's ahead in the campaign.

Here is the excerpt that was broadcast Friday:

KOPPEL: Wednesday night should've been Mike Pence's night. Instead, what's everybody talking about the next day?

TRUMP: That Ted Cruz got booed off the stage.

KOPPEL: Exactly.

TRUMP: And he did get booed of the stage, and I think that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned, because I let him speak, I gave him a home, because I defeated him soundly, I mean by millions and millions of votes. Wasn't like it was close, and I gave him a home, I said, 'If you'd like to speak, speak.' And frankly he was fine, I mean nothing earth shaking. And the arena erupted in boos towards the end of his speech, because they saw he wasn't going to endorse. And I thought that was a beautiful thing. And I thought actually, it was a beautiful in a different way, Ted, I thought it showed great unity. I think the party's very unified, other than a few people that, most of whom, I beat.

CBS SUNDAY MORNING is broadcast Sundays (9:00-10:30 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.
