Vance Says that It's Pretty Clear that Texas Sen. Cruz Is Planning to Run for President
Vance said Cruz’s fundraising, campaigning and legislative wins make a 2028 run look likely, while Vance says he is still undecided.
- On Thursday, Vice President JD Vance told NBC News it is "really obvious" that Texas Senator Ted Cruz is running for president in 2028, though Vance remains noncommittal on his own potential bid.
- Cruz has fueled presidential speculation by raising money and campaigning in Iowa and South Carolina, having previously emerged as Donald Trump's strongest rival in the 2016 GOP primary.
- The Texas Republican has cast the GOP's future as a choice between a "small-government, free-market conservative party" or a "big-government, nanny state party," while securing bipartisan passage of the Protect College Sports Act this week.
- A spokesperson for Cruz dismissed 2028 speculation, stating the senator remains focused on November elections, while prediction markets currently assign him just a 2 percent chance of securing the GOP nomination.
- Republicans face an "uphill climb" in next month's midterms, an outcome Vance acknowledged could shape his own 2028 decision, noting that "regardless of what happens over the next 35 days, there will be new information" to consider.
