Ted Cruz to Newsmax: 'Considering' 2024 White House Run
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 01 July 2021 06:49 PM | By Jack Gournell

Posted on 07/01/2021 6:04:39 PM PDT by conservative98

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."

It’ll be a cold day in Houston before I vote for him.
...and come to think of it, he’ll be in Mexico again, should that be the case.

Illinois primary 2015....Chicago disturbances when ANTIFA types rioted over Trumps win

Ted blamed Trump supporters

He jumped the shark then and lost his substantial support here

And I say that as someone. Who made Ted bumper stickers in 2013 but I moved to Trump early when it became apparent he would fight

If Trump runs, it's his.

If he doesn't, he becomes the biggest, most required recommendation to any other candidate, which most probably will be DeSantis.

There is so much time between now and then that it's best to relax and just watch events unfold.

Born in Canada to a foreign Father and American mother?

No thanks.....

One of them has to leave Florida. Ya can't have a pres or vp from the same state.

Do you think that Trump owns property in any other state?

How tough is it to change residence?

Ted is going to loose his Senate Seat if he doesn’t start concentrating on TX.

As my first choice, I'd like to see Donald Trump run and win again.

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see it work out this way: DeSantis/Trump, Jr., with Trump, Sr. organizing and running the public rallies. He's a master at that.

Then, maybe place Trump, Sr. over the RNC?

Huge issue for taxes. I'm not a fan of playing semantics. A pres and vp should be from a different state. Changing a residence at the last second seems gay.
