Cruz backs Trump: ‘Race is done
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Endorses Donald Trump for President
In an exciting turn of events, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas announced on Tuesday night that he is endorsing former President Donald Trump for president. This endorsement comes after Trump’s impressive win in the Iowa caucuses this week.
Cruz, who had previously refrained from making an endorsement, citing his friendship with both Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, now recognizes Trump’s victory as “decisive.”
“I’m a big believer in letting democracy play out,” Cruz stated. “Well, last night it played out, and I have to say, Trump’s victory was nothing short of remarkable. He secured 51% of the vote and won in 98 counties. Congratulations to President Trump on this dominating victory. At this point, I firmly believe this race is over. Therefore, I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States. I am eager to support him wholeheartedly because I believe it’s time for the Republican Party to unite and come together.”
Unifying the Party and Achieving Victory
Cruz emphasized the importance of defeating Joe Biden and his “disastrous cultural Marxist agenda” in the White House. He stressed the need to regain control of the United States Senate and maintain the House. According to Cruz, the people have spoken through the results, and it’s time to move forward towards victory in November.
Looking at the electoral map, Cruz sees no viable path to victory for any candidate other than Trump. He predicts a closely contested race in New Hampshire, followed by a dominating victory for Trump in South Carolina. After that, Super Tuesday looms, and Cruz believes no other candidate can secure a path to success. He firmly believes in letting the process play out, and the compelling results from the previous night only solidify his stance.

What does Cruz believe about Trump’s ability to bring about the change that the American people desire?
Unties. That’s a clear mandate from the people.”
Cruz went on to praise Trump’s campaign, calling it a “movement that has captivated the hearts and minds of millions of Americans.” He highlighted Trump’s ability to connect with voters and his commitment to shaking up the political establishment.
As one of the last remaining candidates in the Republican primary race, Cruz’s endorsement of Trump is seen as a significant boost to the former president’s campaign. Cruz, who is known for his conservative values and his staunch opposition to the Democratic Party, is a respected figure within the Republican Party. His support of Trump is likely to sway many conservative voters who had previously been hesitant to support the former president.
In his endorsement speech, Cruz made it clear that he believes Trump is the candidate who can best bring about the change that the American people are longing for. “We need a strong leader who will stand up to the Washington elites and fight for the American people,” Cruz said. “Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is that leader.”
Cruz’s decision to endorse Trump is not without controversy, however. Throughout the primary race, both Trump and Cruz engaged in heated exchanges and traded personal insults. Cruz even went so far as to call Trump a “pathological liar” and a “serial philanderer.” Despite their differences, Cruz stated that he is willing to put personal grudges aside for the good of the party and the country.
While some critics argue that Cruz’s endorsement is solely a strategic move to position himself for a potential future presidential run, others see it as a true reflection of his belief that Trump is the best candidate to lead the country. Regardless of Cruz’s intentions, his endorsement is likely to have a significant impact on the race.
With Cruz’s endorsement, Trump gains not only the support of a prominent conservative figure but also the backing of Cruz’s extensive network of grassroots supporters. This could prove vital in winning over conservative voters in key battleground states.
As the race for the White House heats up, Cruz’s endorsement of Trump adds another layer of excitement and unpredictability to the campaign. It signals a further shift within the Republican Party and highlights the growing influence of outsider candidates in American politics.
Only time will tell how effective Cruz’s endorsement will be in helping Trump secure the Republican nomination and ultimately the presidency. However, one thing is certain – this endorsement marks a significant moment in both Cruz and Trump’s political careers and provides a glimpse into the ever-changing landscape of American politics.
