The latest twist in the 2028 GOP presidential sweepstakes came when The Daily Caller\u2019s Reagan Reese pressed Trump directly about the race to lead his MAGA movement forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTed Cruz keeps teasing a 2028 presidential run. You ran against him for president. Do you think he could be president? What\u2019s your reaction to that?\u201d she asked.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I would say that he\u2019s very talented. He\u2019s a very good friend of mine. I think he might do that. Yeah, he\u2019s a very talented \u2014 he\u2019s a talented guy,\u201d Trump<\/span> said<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another presidential bid appears almost inevitable for the Texas Republican, who has made no secret of his national political ambitions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that I want to be president,\u201d Cruz said during an interview on Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick\u2019s<\/span> podcast<\/span>. \u201cTime will tell.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 55-year-old appeared to agree with Patrick\u2019s assertion that the GOP nomination will not be a coronation for Vice President Vance, predicting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott could all throw their hats into the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will say, this is a bug that history has proved is rarely ended,\u201d the senator<\/span> said<\/span> of his White House ambitions. \u201cIt is a permanent and often fatal bug.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Trump stopped short of an endorsement, it\u2019s not the first time he\u2019s left the door open for Cruz to climb the political ladder. For years, Trump has repeatedly floated Cruz as a potential Supreme Court nominee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a fierce critic and primary rival, Trump has called the conservative \u201can amazing guy\u201d who is \u201cso good and so talented,\u201d<\/span> The Daily Wire previously reported.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thinking about putting him in the Supreme Court,\u201d Trump said in February. \u201cI\u2019m thinking because it\u2019s very hard, getting these nominations through is tough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The president added that Cruz would receive \u201c100%\u201d of the Democratic and Republican vote, arguing that Cruz\u2019s foes would \u201cwant to get him out of [the Senate]. He is such a pain in the ass.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time, Cruz shot down the idea of serving on the nation\u2019s highest court.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy answer\u2019s not just no, it\u2019s hell no,\u201d he<\/span> said earlier this year<\/span>. \u201cIt is interesting in the first Trump term, the president talked to me about all three Supreme Court vacancies, and we had very serious conversations, and I told him no all three times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In his podcast interview with Patrick, Cruz opened up about why he ultimately rebuffed Trump\u2019s push to potentially consider him to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut I said no and came to a real peace with it because I believe that I can make a much bigger difference in the Senate than I would on the court,\u201d he said. \u201cThat there are lots of good principled constitutionalists who would do that job and I care deeply about [them] being there. In the Senate, how many people actually stand up and lead?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Not everyone, however, is convinced Cruz can win over the hearts and minds of the MAGA faithful. Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz bluntly questioned whether the Texas senator has any path to the White House in 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be very hard for you to become President when voters don\u2019t like you. How do you plan to make them like you? You aren\u2019t particularly charming, your voice is a bit annoying, you\u2019re a career politician with limited accomplishments, and you aren\u2019t exactly \u2018America First,\u2019\u201d Bruesewitz said on X.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve also been told your operation has been paying influencers to undermine people inside the Trump admin, which isn\u2019t cool, bro.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
