WATCH: Trump Responds to Ted Cruz’s Presidential Ambitions

Wait 5 sec.

President Trump on Monday responded to reporting that Ted Cruz is “laying the groundwork” to run for President in 2028, where he would undoubtedly face Vice President JD Vance in the primary. The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the failed presidential candidate, Cruz, appears to be positioning himself to challenge Vice President JD Vance in 2028 by capitalizing on division within Trump’s base and taking a swipe at both Trump and Vance.“When voices in our own movement push dangerous and misguided ideas, we can’t look the other way,” Cruze said in a statement to Axios.“I won’t hesitate to call out those who peddle destructive, vile rhetoric and threaten our principles and our future. Silence in the face of recklessness is not an option,” he added, appearing to attack Trump and Vance for their support of Tucker Carlson.‘Lyin Ted’ Redux?
