Ted Cruz: Republicans are "lying" or "idiotic" if they dismiss Trump for 2024 – Axios
Category: Republican
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Republicans who dismiss former President Trump as a potential 2024 presidential candidate are "lying" or "idiotic," he told the Washington Examiner.
Driving the news: Cruz is a potential Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential race but has held off on making any official announcement. He told the Examiner that he has not made a decision about 2024 because he wants to see what Trump plans to do.
What he said: There are a lot of candidates out there feeling their oats and boasting, Im running no matter what. I dont care what Donald Trump says. Anyone who says that is lying. Thats an idiotic statement for someone to make whos actually thinking about running, Cruz said.
Flashback: Cruz told Fox News at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last month that he will "wait and see" if former President Trump decides to run in the next presidential election.
The big picture: Other notable potential GOP candidates for the 2024 election include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and former ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, among others.
Go deeper ... Poll: Most voters don't want Biden or Trump on the 2024 ballot
Half of Republicans wouldn't vote for Trump in primary, poll finds
