Ted Cruz endorses Trump, calls for unified front against Biden's 'cultural Marxist' agenda
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed former President Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination on Tuesday.
Cruz, who battled Trump in the 2016 contests only to become a staunch ally during his presidency, said the Iowa caucuses showed there is only one true candidate both ready and viable to take on the left wing and political establishment.
"[Iowa] was a dominating victory for Donald Trump: I've got to say, there's no place like the Iowa caucuses. I know it intimately. The men and women of Iowa, they take their responsibility incredibly seriously. They scrutinize the candidates," Cruz said.
"It's an amazing process, and I'm a big believer in letting democracy play out. Well, last night it played out, and I got to say Trump's victory was across the board… Congratulations to President Trump on that dominating victory. And at this point, I believe this race is over."

"I am proud to endorse Donald Trump for president of the United States. I look forward to supporting him enthusiastically," he said.
After Iowa, Cruz said, there is no path to victory for any of the remaining candidates. He said New Hampshire's primary may be closely contested, but that it will be essentially Trump's fait accompli after he likely wins in South Carolina.
Cruz had long stayed silent about his favorite in the 2024 Republican primary, as Newsweek recently noted he is also good friends with Trump rival Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
