Senator Ted Cruz is making waves in the political arena once again, this time by throwing his weight behind former President Donald Trump for the 2024 election. In a bold and decisive move, Cruz declared his endorsement for Trump during an appearance on Fox News’s Hannity, joining a growing list of senators who have pledged their support for the former president’s potential run.
Cruz emphasized the undeniable strength of Trump’s recent victory in the Iowa caucuses, asserting that there is simply no viable alternative for the Republican Party to rally behind. With unwavering confidence, Cruz asserted that the race is effectively over, firmly positioning himself in the camp of Donald Trump.

The Texas senator left no room for interpretation as he made his intentions clear, expressing his pride in endorsing Trump for the presidency and eagerly anticipating the opportunity to actively support his campaign. With an eye toward unity within the Republican Party, Cruz underscored the urgency of defeating President Joe Biden and combatting what he termed as a “disastrous cultural Marxist agenda in the White House.”
Cruz’s endorsement comes as a substantial boost to Trump’s efforts, as it marks a significant milestone with a majority of Senate GOP members throwing their support behind the former president. However, Cruz’s delayed endorsement seemed to have ruffled some feathers, reportedly drawing the ire of Trump himself, who was said to have privately expressed his displeasure with the Texas senator.
Notably, Cruz’s political history includes a competitive showdown with Trump during the 2016 Iowa caucuses, where Cruz emerged victorious. Despite the prior rivalry, Cruz has now firmly aligned himself with Trump, emphasizing the critical need for Republicans to coalesce and secure victory in the upcoming election.
In the wake of Trump’s dominating performance in Iowa, support for the former president continues to grow, with endorsements coming in from various quarters, including Vivek Ramaswamy, a staunch defender of Trump, who recently suspended his own campaign and threw his support behind the former president. With the momentum building behind Trump, the political landscape is undoubtedly heating up as the 2024 election draws closer.
