Ted Cruz to Newsmax: 'Considering' 2024 White House Run

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."

Canadian Cruz? Anti-Trump Cruz? “Vote you conscience (for for Hillary instead of Trump)” Cruz?

No thanks. KMA.

The only Trump child eligible is Tiffany.

Hey Ted. One word.

DON'T!

[Vaquero]

I don’t live. In Florida I don’t much like Florida except in January/February

But I think he needs to stay there. He has done so much there and there is so much more to do.

[xzins]

I’m a Cruz fan. That said, he still has constitutional obstacles. Of course, if Trump runs, every other candidate is dead in the water.

[ASA Vet]

Being ineligible is only an obstacle for Republicans.

[xzins]

Perhaps over these last 5 years Sen Cruz has found evidence that supports him.

[Laslo Fripp]

Each of our 100 senators gets up in the morning, looks in the mirror and sees a future President looking back at them.

Nothing new here.

[Preachin']

Please help me understand why Tiffany would be the only eligible one of Trump’s kids to run for POTUS.

[Laslo Fripp]

That is the best synopsis of the situation I’ve read.

And, you boiled it down to one sentence. Good job!

[ASA Vet]

Because she's the only one whose mother was a US Citizen at the time of birth.

[Mariner]

Cruz proved himself to be a traitor and a liar.

Yet still has supporters on this forum.

[romanesq]

Of course you would Ted.

The problem is we’re not considering you.

Wonks don’t make the best of Presidents.

[Deo volente]

...too many Freepers don't care about our Constitution anymore. They've surrendered.

Too many members of our three branches of government don't care about our Constitution anymore. That's the real tragedy.
