<p>Ted Cruz is a Republican U.S. Senator from Texas, serving since 2013.

Cruz ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, finishing as the runner-up to Donald Trump. Known for his combative style and strong grassroots support, he has been a key figure in Senate battles over judicial appointments, immigration, and federal spending.
