Cruz Fuels Presidential Buzz

“He has spent less than six months in the U.S. Senate, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) fueled speculation about his broader national political ambitions Friday night with a coveted speaking role at a state Republican Party dinner in the early primary state of South Carolina,” the Washington Post reports.

Politico: “With this litany of conservative touchstones and more, Cruz drew round after round of applause Friday night here at the South Carolina GOP’s Silver Elephant Dinner, an annual fundraising event that routinely hosts aspiring presidential candidates. It remains to be seen whether Cruz’s keynote speech represents an early step toward seeking the presidency.”
