Ted Cruz finds himself up against Donald Trump in Senate races in Ohio and Pennsylvania
While Trump has also supported Laxalt in Nevada, the former president held a rally this weekend to support J.D. Vance over Mandel in Tuesday’s Ohio Senate primary race.
And in Pennsylvania, Cruz has campaigned for David McCormick in that state’s May 17 GOP primary. Trump has endorsed McCormick’s opponent, Mehmet Oz, in that race and is set to hold a rally with Oz on Friday in western Pennsylvania. While Cruz and Trump are on opposite sides in Ohio and Pennsylvania, they are on the same side in Nevada and now in North Carolina where both have endorsed Republican Ted Budd for the U.S. Senate in that state’s May 17 primary., especially after the U.S. Supreme Court nomination battle over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, when Cruz was featured all over conservative media for his opposition to her.
Cruz continues to express interest in running for president again in 2024 and continues to raise money like few others in the U.S. Senate. Cruz has already raised more than $27 million in his U.S. Senate re-election account — more than all but one other Senate Republican, according to Federal Election Commission records.When asked directly if he was interested in running for president if Donald Trump doesn’t run again, Cruz hasn’t shied away.
“I am certainly looking at it,” Cruz, 51, said during an interview with conservative media outlet Newsmax in July. “I’ll tell you, 2016 was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. We came incredibly close.”[email protected]
