Ted Cruz came in second after Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign
Rafael Edward Cruz is an American politician and attorney serving as the junior United States Senator for Texas since 2013. A member of the Republican Party, Cruz served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008.
In 2016, Cruz ran for president of the United States, placing second behind Donald Trump in the Republican primaries.
Cruz and Trump later buried the hatchet.
The competition for the Republican presidential nomination between Trump and Cruz was deeply acrimonious and characterized by a series of public personal attacks.
While Cruz initially declined to endorse Trump’s campaign once he won the nomination, he became a staunch Trump supporter during the latter’s presidency.
After the January 2021 Capitol attack, Cruz provoked widespread political and popular backlash for objecting to the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election and giving credence to the false claim that the election was stolen from Trump presidency.
