Cruz: I Nearly Won The WH In 2016 And Will Run Again

November 7, 2023 Politics, Republicans

The Texas Tribune reports:

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said he expects to run for president again in the future, continuing his fight against the left and their “woke” policies.

“I loved running for president in 2016. We came incredibly close. We came within inches of winning. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and I fully hope and expect to run again at some point,” Cruz said in an interview promoting his new book, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.”

Cruz said he ultimately did not run for president this cycle because the timing didn’t feel right, and he thought he could be more effective fighting policies driven by Democrats in the Senate.

Read the full article. Cruz, of course, did not come “within inches of winning.” He won the Iowa caucus and was trounced by Trump on Super Tuesday. He then went on to work the phones for Trump even after Trump called his wife ugly and claimed his father killed JFK.

.@tedcruz‘s ambition to go from being a Trump sub & boring podcaster to President is not surprising. He clearly has no interest in representing TX in Sen. Whatever you think about Rs & Ds, Cruz simply doesn’t do his job as a U.S. Sen for TX. #txlege https://t.co/zl1ShAizGD
