In a shocking turn of events, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas officially jumped on the Trump train and endorsed the former president for the upcoming election. After being labeled ‘Lyin’ Ted’ by Trump in the 2016 primaries, it seems Cruz has had a change of heart and is now rallying behind the man who once mercilessly attacked him. Following Trump’s big win in the Iowa caucuses, Cruz wasted no time in publicly declaring his support for the former president.
Cruz took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce his endorsement, proclaiming, “I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President. Now is the time for us to unite to oust Joe Biden and save our country from the Democrats’ destructive agenda.” This move comes as no surprise, as Cruz has backed Trump in his previous election campaigns in both 2020 and 2016.

It’s clear that Cruz sees the writing on the wall and is eager to hitch his wagon to the Trump train once again. The Texas senator’s endorsement adds to a growing list of at least 23 other U.S. senators who have thrown their support behind Trump in the GOP presidential primary. It seems the Republican establishment is coalescing around Trump as they gear up to take on Joe Biden and the Democrats in the upcoming election.
But the drama doesn’t stop there. Meanwhile, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has yet to endorse a candidate, but he did take a swipe at Nikki Haley, cautioning his fellow Republicans to steer clear of her. Labeling her ‘Never Nikki,’ Paul launched a scathing Twitter thread outlining why she should be avoided like the plague in the primary election.
With the political landscape heating up and the battle lines being drawn, it’s clear that the Republicans are ready to go to war to secure the White House. The stage is set for a high-stakes showdown, and the endorsements and jabs have only just begun. As the election season unfolds, one thing is for certain – it’s going to be a wild and unpredictable ride!
