Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is preparing to run for president in 2028, according to a report. President Trump was asked about Cruz’s potential bid to be his successor during a press conference in the Oval Office. Trump described Cruz as a friend but noted he had not yet spoken to him about running for president. “We had quite a campaign against Ted. It worked out quite nicely,” Trump said, referencing his previous campaigns. He emphasized that it is early, stating, “3 and a quarter years. He’s a very good guy, a very good friend of mine.”
Trump expressed surprise at the news but acknowledged his chances of becoming president are slim, especially against someone like JD Vance. The article highlights that Ted Cruz is no Donald Trump, with one example being Trump’s defense of Tucker Carlson as a journalist.
Ted Cruz is focusing on attacks of Tucker Carlson to carve out a place in the presidential race as a “traditional, pro-interventionist” Republican. By poking at Carlson’s isolationist foreign policy views, accusing him of antisemitism and more, Cruz is putting himself on a collision course with Vice President Vance, a Carlson ally widely seen as the 2028 GOP frontrunner.
Tucker Carlson laughed off news of Cruz’s potential run for president, calling it “hilarious.” The article notes that the American people rejected the “traditional” Republican camp nearly a decade ago when they elected Trump for his first term. This strategy is never going to work.
