On Being Ted Cruz’s Daughter

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “found himself in a predicament this week that would make any parent working in politics nervous: an outspoken teenage daughter with a TikTok account,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

“Answering questions from followers on the social media application about the pros and cons of being related to a U.S. senator, Cruz’s 13-year-old daughter said she liked traveling and receiving candy and gifts in the mail. But she expressed dislike for her security detail, which she said follows her around her neighborhood and to her friends’ homes.”

Said Caroline Cruz: “A lot of people judge me based upon him at first glance, but I really disagree with most of his views.”
