Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed former President Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination on Tuesday.
Cruz, who battled Trump in the 2016 contests only to become a staunch ally during his presidency, said the Iowa caucuses showed there is only one true candidate both ready and viable to take on the left wing and political establishment.
“[Iowa] was a dominating victory for Donald Trump: I’ve got to say, there’s no place like the Iowa caucuses. I know it intimately. The men and women of Iowa, they take their responsibility incredibly seriously. They scrutinize the candidates,” Cruz said.
“It’s an amazing process, and I’m a big believer in letting democracy play out. Well, last night it played out, and I got to say Trump’s victory was across the board… Congratulations to President Trump on that dominating victory. And at this point, I believe this race is over.”
“I wear that as a badge of honor,” he said of continuing to receive the ire and attention of Democrats as his reelection approaches.
“If you are a left-wing Democrat, after Donald Trump, there’s nobody in the country you want to beat more than me. And Chuck Schumer has made clear I am his number one target in the country.”
“The Democrats are going to spend $100 million this year trying to beat me and trying to flip Texas blue. Now, that ain’t going to happen.”
