Ted Cruz says he would run for president again ‘in a heartbeat’

Sen. Ted Cruz may be cruising toward another bid at the presidency.

In an interview with the Truth Gazette, Cruz was asked if he would consider running for the White House, and the Texas Republican said his race in 2016 puts him in a good position to win the GOP nomination.
“Absolutely, in a heartbeat. You know I ran in 2016. It was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life,” he said. “I ended up placing second. You know, there’s a reason historically that the runner-up is almost always the next nominee.”
