Thank you to every trucker who is standing up for freedom for every man, woman, and child in America! pic.twitter.com/DJeoHtWEXyCruz arrived at the speedway, which is about an hour outside of Washington, D.C., at approximately 9:30 a.m. as he climbed into the front seat of one of the trucks, with organizers indicating the senator would be leading the convoy. It was unclear how long Cruz planned to participate.
The group had its first ride-around on Sunday, circling the Beltway with big rigs, RVs, and pickup trucks. The convoy met again to repeat the path on Monday and Tuesday but stayed off the roads on Wednesday due to rainy weather. The caravan has attracted the most participants of all the trucker convoys traveling to the nation's capital so far. Despite initial nationwide support for the caravans in Canada, the U.S. counterparts have struggled to pick up steam.
