Ted Cruz traveled to Iowa recently for a fundraiser for GOP Representative Ashley Hinson. But his time there has fueled speculation that he will run for the Republican nomination for president in 2024 for the right to challenge Joe Biden.
According to Fox News:
But the swing through the state that for half a century has kicked off the race for the White House by the 2016 Republican presidential nomination runner-up is sparking more speculation that Cruz is gearing up for another White House run in 2024.
“We’re going to take back the majority and the majority in the House of Representatives run straight through Iowa,” Cruz told Fox News in an interview Saturday after Cruz spoke at a fundraiser for first-term Rep. Ashley Hinson, a rising star in the GOP who narrowly defeated a Democratic incumbent last November and who could face a challenging reelection next year.
…
Cruz told Newsmax earlier this year that he’s “certainly looking at it.”
The conservative firebrand – who used a powerful ground game and strong evangelical support to edge then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida to win the 2016 Iowa caucuses – told Fox News ahead of his trip that “I look forward to doing everything humanly possible to help pull us back from the brink and toward freedom and prosperity.”
After his remarks in Iowa, Sen. @tedcruz talked about the importance of the Hawkeye State ahead of 2022/2024. The Senator said he's focused on taking back the House and Senate in 2022, and did not say either way if he's planning to take another run at the White House. pic.twitter.com/xwlVPypeui

Rubio is in the state as well, fueling speculation that he may look to join the field in 2024. It is unknown if their candidacy depends on whether Trump runs or not.
Forget it, Ted. You did little to Help Trump. You cannot even take on the Democrats now. Concentrate on doing the job you have.
You have NO clue what you are babbling about twinkie.. Get back on the short bus and hide in mommy’s basement.
Trump is a scumbag, Cruz is a sleaze ball
Cancun Ted spending his hard earned dollars to support Mexican drug cartels.
I love you Teddy, you have done so much to improve the lives of hard working Mexicans.
How many meth labs did your last vacation pay for?
no
you are the scumbag idot
NO NO NO NO TED CRUZ, DON’T MAKE ME VOTE DEMOCRAT.
Donald Duck would BEAT ANYONE THE DEMOSHITS RUN…Donald Duck
Joe beat Donald the Orange Duck Trump.
Hessi, Did your mother have any kids that lived?
After the horrific catastrophe of Afghanistan how can you even defend Biden. Did you know he gave a kill list of Americans to the Taliban. CNN or the rest of the garbage media won’t mention that fact. At this point if you support Biden or the rest of his f***** up administration you are a communist. You have the blood of 13 members of our Military on your hands just as Biden and his administration do. Biden is a feckless coward who bows down to Terriorists! Say what you will of President Trump he was a leader and he wasn’t a coward. He would Never have abandoned American Citizens in Afghanistan as Biden and his administration did!!!
yeah right we all know they cheated and so don’t nice try to gas light everyone scumbag
Herr Hess, how did you ever survive Aktion T4??
I voted for him in the 2016 primaries… hard to say no to a conservative candidate with his background and a staunch supporter of the Constitution!
Cruz is a RINO. He talks a good game but he doesn’t follow through. Ron DeSantis is a good guy but he has already said he’s not running if Trump is. I think a Trump/DeSantis ticket would be an awesome one.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON KAT !
Keep trying Ted, if Trump doesn’t run. You’ll get my vote. But you guys have got to get together!! 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
We want Trump in 2024! If the cheating is held in check he would be a shoo-in.
I don’t think any of both; Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio will make it. They were shy in helping President Trump in his effort to save America. No other than Trump will have my vote.
In 2016, I was a Marco Rubio guy. Still like him, though if Trump runs, and I think he will, I think pretty much everyone backs off. Then it’s about who Trump picks for a running mate. I’m not sure Cruz is likable enough nationwide to help, even though he is clearly qualified (I like him better for SCOTUS if the chance comes about). I think Rubio solidifies the Hispanic vote nationwide and certainly helps Trump take both FL and TX handily. I also like Kristi Noem. I know she’s had some issues, but she is a staunch conservative, exceptionally popular out west, and I think she has some legs to help Trump in the midwest. The BIG question is, regardless of all this, can Trump survive the MASSIVE voter fraud planned by the Dems?
TRUMP is choice #1. If he sits it out, Cruz would be good but needs to grow a hard shell. Also, DeSantis. Any GOP will be attacked mercilessly by the “objective media.”
Objective media? These days that is impossible for the fake media to be. We all know they are simply propaganda machines for the owners! And those owners are dim wit donors as well.
DeSantos, Rubio maybe, never never never lying Cruz.
Cruz is barely qualified for a Senator position, he better just stay put, or Trump will put him in with Lindsey Graham, and John McCain’s group of traitors!!
Cruz is a RINO?
Are they now the majority?
Does not endorsing Trump 2024 automatically make you RINO?
Is Trump the only true Republican left standing?
Well truth be told Biden has taken Trump to his knees.
Creepy Old Joe is no longer into that kind of thing.
His pecker pills haven’t worked for over a decade.
Joe is all rubbery in Trump’s mouth.
Nothing ever comes of it.
Nothing to swallow.
The disappointment is papable.
The long moans …..
You are gross, talk like you must definitely be a democrat/socialist, who burn our flag, rob, kill,the list goes on & on.
Your statement is extremely offensive. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Gross, Gross, Gross. Trying classing up a little.
He is just the latest name plate for the Soros harassment crew paid to irritate! And he is just using the same old boring routine on posters to ad nauseam. I am sure Hesse will have to look that word combo up. Means he and his past personas have beat this horse to death in the race. Boring guy or gal or it! And these sights have taken the blocking away which was an easy way not to be bothered by his repeated efforts to irritate.
Think about this. Who has the time to do all this offensive posting but a paid person. Hum? I think that encapsulates Hesse, or AK Lady, or the rest. Same persona but different monikers. And the same old boring crap spewing forth! So Hesse is a closet creep paid to post!!! Remember AK? Same old shit!
He is too smart to run against the Trump Juggernaut. Join him or get squashed.
I wonder how many of you remember when he was running the last time he was for the trans pacific trade deal that would have gutted our legal system when it came to copie right and what not
Didn’t catch that but not surprising. Cruz has been in the cesspool a Long, Long time!
Ted doesn’t stand a chance…Trump will demolish all who come against him.
Ted couldn’t even beat DeSantis!
And he had that experience in 2016. Trump took em all on and won. He was the only one who could have beat Hillary in that fixed race as well. Now the cheating machine knows Trump and we have to fix the holes in the system to stop the massive fraud of 2020.
>
All those stupid swing states must do what Az is doing. Show the fraud, prosecute the criminals and plug up the holes. Right now AZ has proved the fraud and has more to uncover in those machines and routers. Time to find out who was interfacing on those systems.
>
And I would bet they are the same on all those dominion machines when the discovery is made in all those states that are brave enough to inquire. And that depends on the people in those states to step up in mass and demand that audit in full. You don’t, you get to keep old Joe and his ilk in power in your states!!!
The sad thing is that unless the Trump organization does a whole lot of PR work to clean up his image nationwide, chances are that he may get the nomination, but lose in the general election. The loony left has done a job on Trump and it will take a lot of work to overcome it. This country doesn’t need, nor can we afford, another 4 years of Biden and the rest of the liberal crowd. They are doing their best to destroy this country, and unless we citizens remove them from office we may just allow them to accomplish their mission.
During the Trump campaign, I favored Cruz. But changed my mind and am a TRUMP FAN. No, Ted, you don’t have a chance. There is a couple of guys in Florida that have you out-shined all the way. Trump…& or DeSantis. So, Ted, give it up and do what you were elected to do..work for the folks who voted for you.
Radical if true
I’d have to re-evaluate Ted if he runs!! I supported him BEFORE I supported Trump. As ALL [especially politicians] are flawed and have fallen short of the glory of God each gets individually evaluated. Odds are good I’d support him as the Democrats are likely to chose a candidate that supports MURDER [since abortion ends the life of a previously conceived person it meets the definition of MURDER].
