Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tells Newsmax he's "considering" another run for the White House in 2024, but he'd be happy seeking another term representing Texas in the U.S. Senate as well.
Appearing Thursday on "The Chris Salcedo Show," Cruz told guest host Tom Basile he was "just considering it, just thinking about it," when asked about his 2024 plans.
Former President Donald Trump has yet to announce whether he will seek reelection after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden. A move by Trump to reclaim the Oval Office would certainly make the still popular former commander-in-chief the strong front-runner and force most serious candidates such as Cruz to sit out another four years.
But Cruz said his 2016 bid for the GOP presidential nomination, in which he was the last candidate standing against Trump, was "the most fun I've ever had in my life."
"We came incredibly close," he said. "Had an incredible grassroots army of 326,000 volunteers nationwide. And so whether it is in the Senate, or whether it is in a presidential campaign, I am committed to fighting to defend free enterprise, to defend freedom and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights."

I’d vote for him. He’s been a good senator, IMHO.
Sheesh. Since 2016. The guy sacrifices the honor of his wife. The good name of his own dead father. And prostrates in a dogeza repeatedly before the throne of King Donald, and still can’t go no damned respect or traction. Sheesh. What is a guy to do?
Just pathetic. Downright pathetic.
Where is the honor? Or independent backbone a that. And to think I supported him at one time.
You say "get around the Constitution", I say comply with the Constitution.
WTF is gay about that, other than your view of the world?
Trump is living in Jersey now.
Thank you.
Better he should pick another State. NJ residency makes him vulnerable to attacks similar to NY.
IMO you should stop digging.
Like redcoats standing in formation to be killed by American patriots who used terrain & strategy to defeat a superior force
Like Romney & the GOP-e playing saps, enabling the left, gaslighting, while posturing as be morally superior
The pretense that there is moral superiority in not merely following the rules or obeying law but instead living up to an undefined mutably defined “spirit of the law” while the left destroys America and enslaves the American people is in the best tradition of shortsighted stupidity.
It wasn't the gope or romneys of the world that handed out the keys to our jailers. It was the vanguards on the so called right, like Reagan, newt and the rest that flooded the US with illegals, amnesties, offshoring, debt, nafta, free trade and the rest. The leftist are known, but the 'right' always did it with a smile and wink.
If Trump runs again, I think he has 50/50 chance of winning. If it's DeSantis or Cruz, they have 60/40 chance of winning.
We all love Trump but the Left truly despise him. 2024 will just be another 2020. It won't be like 2016 where Trump caught them by surprise.

I think in looking at the threads that have lead to our current situation I think you underestimate the power of kick the can down the road, greed & cynicism.
The force of the GOP-e and Never Trump, powered by graft and pay to play, can best be quantified by looking at the success of resistance & undermining POTUS Trump’s agenda & the will of the people during his first term. Without their influence the ship would have been righted by POTUS T or in fact years ago.
P.S. I would not be arrogant enough to have expected better of you.
Hard to run in 2024 from another Country. POTUS Trump is not retiring from the fray because of jackals nipping at his heels. He is in it for the long haul.
I’ll vote for him ...... if Trump doesn’t run.
One word: Carly Fiorina.
HEY TED!
Cubanadians can’t be President.
(but you already know that)
NO!
If Trump or DeSantis doesn’t run, sure.
I don’t like this answer though about it being “fun”.
Save your money, Ted. It’s Desantis’ year.
