Like Pompeo, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has lined up behind McCormick in the May 17 Pennsylvania primary, which recent polling has suggested is close. Cruz is looking to bounce back after his preferred candidate in the Ohio primary, Josh Mandel, lost. Cruz joined Mandel on the campaign trail in the final stretch of the race, even mocking Republican candidates for talking too much about Trump.
Meanwhile, former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley appeared in a new TV ad this week for Rep. Nancy Mace, who is facing a challenge from the Trump-backed Katie Arrington in the June 14 primary in South Carolina. Mace was critical of Trump in the immediate aftermath of the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, but she ultimately voted against his impeachment.
Pompeo, Haley and Cruz would by no means qualify as "Never Trumpers." They are all, however, eyeing the White House -- and searching for ways to differentiate themselves. Endorsing like-minded candidates is a way to not only exert influence and gain allies, but also to demonstrate a vision for the party.
Of course, if Trump decides to run again in two years, these Republican contenders would face very narrow paths to the GOP nomination. But if they decide to go forward with presidential campaigns -- whether that's with or without Trump in the race in 2024, or even farther down the line -- the groundwork they are laying now could pay dividends.

When they reach 55-0, let me know.
All none starters.
When are “republicans” going to realize that the American people (i.e. the voters) are behind President Trump???
The public would look much more favorably on them if they’d realize what is great for the American people...
Cruz is looking to bounce back after his preferred candidate in the Ohio primary, Josh Mandel, lost.
Cruz is Cruz First.
Not America First.
There, fixed it.
Why are these people [like Ditch] not called vassal makers?
Good one. The more Ted 'Canada Carpetbagger' Cruz keeps signing off on losers the more he starts to resemble that perennial political bridesmaid and loser Rino Harold Stassen. Total laughing stock.
Nancy Mace voted to impeach.
This all you need to know about Niki Haley.
Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Ben Sasse, Lisa Murkowski, and Lindsey Graham are all bona-fide RINOs.
The U.S. Congress definitely needs term limits, to end the run of career politicians, beholden more to lobbyists than their constituencies.
Haley and Cruz are not natural born citizens.
Cruz is Canada First
Close friends and family of Ted Cruz should give him an “intervention”.
They should sit down with him and explain that unfortunately he has a strong “ick” factor - kind of like Al Gore - his mannerisms and facial expressions are “icky” - a big turn-off to a large percentage of the people.
It’s not his fault - but there’s just no way he’s ever going to get elected President.
