Cruz’s 2022 Iowa swing puts Texas senator firmly back in 2024 spotlight
Fox News
Retaking the House majority in the 2022 midterm elections is at the top of Sen. Ted Cruz’s agenda this weekend as the conservative senator from Texas makes his first trip to Iowa this election cycle. But the swing through the first-in-the-nation caucus state is sparking more 2024 speculation about the 2016 GOP runner up.
"We're going to take back the majority and the majority in the House of Representatives run straight through Iowa," Cruz told Fox News in an interview Saturday after Cruz spoke at a fundraiser for first-term Rep. Ashley Hinson, a rising star in the GOP who narrowly defeated a Democratic incumbent last November and who could face a challenging reelection next year. Republicans need a net gain of just five House seats in next year’s midterm elections to retake the House majority they lost in the 2018 midterms, and this weekend Cruz is lending his support in what he described as "two pivotal races."More Related News
