Ted Cruz Is Testing the Waters for a 2028 Run

“Ted Cruz isn’t hiding his presidential ambitions—and he is taking some digs at the presumptive front-runner along the way,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The 2028 contest hasn’t started yet, and there is still a midterm election in November. Vice President JD Vance, who is leading in early polls of potential Republican nominees, is campaigning for candidates in tough races and fundraising for the party.”

“But Cruz, the Texas senator and firebrand conservative, is already putting in the legwork in Iowa, hitting the podcast circuit and embarking on a book tour. He is also quietly asking people if they would be interested in working on his 2028 bid, according to people familiar with the requests.”
