Cruz Distances from MAGA Base, Eyes 2028 Run

  • / Updated:
  • Staff Report 

Sen. Ted Cruz is positioning himself as a traditional conservative alternative to Trump loyalists, according to The Hill. While backing Trump’s current agenda, Cruz is voicing concern over high tariffs, opposing tax hikes on the wealthy, and pushing for a harder stance on Russia.

With Vice President JD Vance seen as Trump’s heir apparent, Cruz’s divergence may signal a 2028 presidential bid. Strategists say his national recognition, fundraising reach, and Senate leadership keep him in contention—if MAGA fatigue sets in.

Though skeptics dismiss his odds, allies believe Cruz could unite traditional conservatives and populists under a renewed GOP banner if Trump’s economic policies falter before the next race.
