Ted Cruz downplayed inquiries on Monday regarding a possible presidential campaign for 2028, telling CBS News correspondent Major Garrett, "We'll have this conversation another time." During a lengthy interview for the "CBS Mornings" segment on Monday, Cruz addressed such questions on two occasions when the topic of a presidential bid arose after President Trump departs in 2028.
Initially, Garrett highlighted Cruz's longest tenure as a Republican nominee against Trump in the 2016 primary. However, when asked if Cruz plans to run again in two years, Cruz stated, "Look, I'm right now focused, No. 1, on the midterms," referring to upcoming senate and congressional elections. The Texas senator also discussed the upcoming Texas senate race between Republican candidate Ken Paxton and Democratic nominee James Talarico, stating, "He would be a great candidate in California.
He's not a great candidate in Texas." Garrett then pressed Cruz further on his potential presidential aspirations, to which Cruz replied with a laugh, "I have no announcement for you. We'll have this conversation another time."
