In a pivotal endorsement that could shape one of the most crucial Senate races in 2024, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has announced his support for Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno. With the Senate majority hanging in the balance, Cruz emphasized the significance of this race and the need for candidates who can help restore a Republican majority in the Senate.
Cruz’s backing arrives amidst Republican efforts to seize control of the Senate and oppose President Joe Biden’s policies. According to a press release provided to Fox News Digital, Cruz expressed, “It is crucial, now more than ever, to support candidates capable of restoring a Republican majority in the Senate. Bernie Moreno possesses the necessary qualities to succeed in his campaign and contribute to the battle against Joe Biden and his extreme policies. I am honored to support him and am excited about the prospect of collaborating with him in the Senate.”
Moreno, a candidate who has also received support from former President Donald Trump, is facing a highly competitive primary for the Republican nomination to challenge Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, in the general election. Accepting Cruz’s endorsement, Moreno expressed his gratitude and eagerness to collaborate with the senator in restoring the nation’s course.
“Senator Cruz consistently battles against the established order in Washington, and I deeply appreciate his support,” Moreno stated. “I am eager to collaborate with Senator Cruz to undo the harm caused by Joe Biden’s policies and steer our country towards the right path.”
Cruz’s endorsement is a significant show of support, as he is one of the few prominent political figures backing Moreno’s candidacy. Joining Cruz in endorsing Moreno are Senators Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, J.D. Vance of Ohio, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Rand Paul of Kentucky, John Barrasso of Wyoming, and Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota.
The Ohio Republican primary race on March 19, 2024, will witness Moreno competing against Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and State Senator Matt Dolan. With Cruz’s endorsement and the backing of other influential figures, Moreno’s campaign gains momentum as he strives to secure the Republican nomination and take on Senator Brown in the general election.
In a political landscape filled with uncertainty, endorsements like Cruz’s can play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of elections. As the 2024 election cycle unfolds, the race for the Senate majority intensifies, and candidates like Bernie Moreno emerge as key players in determining the future direction of our nation.
