President Trump responded to reports that Senator Ted Cruz is preparing to run for president in 2028, stating that he has not yet spoken to Cruz about the potential bid. In his characteristic style, Trump remarked on their past campaign, saying, “We had quite a campaign against Ted. It worked out quite nicely…” and referencing the Oval Office. He also noted that his chances of winning are slim against JD Vance, while Ted Cruz is focusing on his feud with Tucker Carlson to position himself as a traditional, pro-interventionist Republican. Cruz’s strategy includes attacking Tucker Carlson’s isolationist views and accusing him of antisemitism, putting him in conflict with Vice President Vance.
