Ted Cruz on 2028 Presidential Race
The Receipts
On-the-record lines behind the coverage of Ted Cruz on 2028 Presidential Race — each links to the exact moment in the audio.
“Ted Cruz, in an interview a couple of days ago, said the same thing, that he would expect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president, Zohran Mamdani to run for a senator.”
“I think someone like Ted Cruz has aspirations to run for president again like he did in 16.”
“Ted Cruz would be in agreement that Ted Cruz is going to run for president in 2028. I mean, period. He'll start running in January of 27.”
“last time Ted Cruz wouldn't go away, he cost Marco Rubio the nomination.”
“So let's see. Who out there wants Ted Cruz to be the nominee in 2028?”
“Ted Cruz is going to be their stalking horse. He's now going to run in 2028. He's playing coy, but he's already set up an action committee. He's already raising money. He's already getting a lot of anti-Trump donors, big donors behind him.”
“Ted Cruz, Texas Senator, laying the groundwork for a 28 presidential bid, wants to go toe-to-toe against JD Vance, and he's using his little scuttled butt with Tucker Carlson as part of his campaign.”
“the Constitution does require a president to be a natural born citizen article to section one, but several people have already written, especially since he's already run for president and suggested that in fact, that Ted Cruz does qualify as a natural born citizen because his mother was a U.S. citizen.”
“Cruz yesterday was non-committal on a report in Axios that he is preparing a 2028 run for the White House.”
“Did you guys see the Axiost story on Ted Cruz, how he's been very critical of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. And they're framing this as him sort of laying the groundwork for a 2028 primary run against the JD Vance of the world because he's going to be the pro-Israel calling out anti-Semitism candidate in the Republican Party.”
“you know what the Ted Cruz play is, right? The Ted Cruz play of criticizing Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes and Trump and everything else is just sort of set her JD Vance to set himself up for a, a 2028 run.”
