Ted Cruz signals interest in 2028 presidential run and says GOP has not coalesced behind JD Vance.
Sen. Ted Cruz stated he will "certainly be part of the discussion" regarding the 2028 Republican presidential primary and said the GOP has not yet coalesced behind Vice President JD Vance. Vance's allies dismissed Cruz's comments, with one calling him a "has-been" polling at 1%. Trump is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term, leaving the 2028 Republican field open.
