Sen. Ted Cruz Confirms Presidential Run in 2024

In an unexpected political turn on November 29th, 2020, Texas Senator Ted Cruz confirmed rumors that he intends to run in the 2024 Presidential elections. In a shocking press conference on Sunday, Cruz, who battled Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2016, stated he is willing to make another bid for the White House.

Though many have been speculating about Cruz’s political future since his 2018 re-election to the Senate, his official announcement so soon after the 2020 elections ends the speculation.

Appearing on the national talk show, ‘Face the Nation,’ Cruz stated, “Having garnered insight and experience from the 2016 bid, I do indeed confirm my intention to run for president in 2024. I believe it’s time for a fresh vision for America, and I aim to provide that.”

Cruz’s announcement comes as a surprise to political analysts who had been predicting potential Republican front-runners such as former Vice President Mike Pence or former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. However, with Senator Cruz’s announcement, the political landscape for the coming elections has undeniably changed.

In his broadcasted statement, Senator Cruz also made a shocking claim, “Former First Lady Michelle Obama and I had a closed-door meeting, and she has pledged her support for my campaign.” However, no confirmation was made from Michelle Obama’s office about this baffling claim.

With this announcement, the 2024 Presidential race has indeed started the engines and is forecasted to be a taut political contest.
