EXCLUSIVE - Ted Cruz says GOP White House race is now a showdown between Trump and DeSantis: Republican says Florida Governor still has a chance to get the nomination with two months until Iowa - and teases a future run for president himself

Sen. Ted Cruz hinted that he may be running for president again in the future and said not to count Gov. Ron DeSantis out of the presidential race.

'When I ran in 2016, the most fun I've ever had in my life. And we came incredibly close to winning,' he told DailyMail.com in an interview.

While Trump is far ahead in the polls, Cruz predicted the race is still up for grabs.

He gave the interview because he is hawking a book.

He supposedly made some kind of deal, then cheated and reniged on it to win Iowas, but I don't recall the details now.

Now he sounds like he's going to run in 2028, if there is a country left.

DeSantis has zero chance in 2024. Might return in 2028 though

Ted is either drinking too much or smoking something. Either way, he’s delusional or working with Soros.

Big $$$ seem to be leaning toward Haley as the primary challenger to Trump.

[Cancel Culture Haley? No thanks.]

Apparently Cruz hasn't seen the polls showing Cheney in heels beating up on DeSantis.

I think I get his reasoning. He and everyone else can see that DeSantos is doing his brand great harm by pushing this.

If Cruz intends to run in 28 why not encourage your competition self destruct.

Well, it looks like Iowa was where cruz did the dirty tricks of saying carson had dropped out, and mailing fake ‘official’ mailings that were ment to scare or sway caucus goers.

The other incident is associated with some other state
