(FOX NEWS) – Sen. Ted Cruz said Friday that if former President Donald Trump announces he's running for president in 2024, it would lead to many other candidates deciding against their own presidential bids.
Cruz, R-Texas, spoke to Fox News Digital at the Turning Point USA conference in Tampa. He said Trump is "going to do what he wants" in 2024, and "will remain an incredibly important leader in the United States."
"I'm sure it clears it out significantly," Cruz said of a potential scenario of Trump running again in 2024. "We'll see what happens. Look, the lay of the land is everyone is waiting to see what Trump decides to do. Anyone who tells you they're not is lying to you. And he's going to decide on whatever time frame he desires."
