WASHINGTON – Ted Cruz has effectively ruled out a presidential run next year, declaring that he’ll focus only on winning a third Senate term rather than seeking both jobs simultaneously.
“I’m running for reelection to Senate in 2024,” he told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday.
That reaffirmed his comments to supporters on a conference call Monday night, when he also boasted that Democrats fear him more than any Republican besides former president Donald Trump – suggesting he expects another tough fight to keep his Senate seat.
