President Donald Trump recently suggested that he might nominate Texas Senator Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court. This idea was floated during an event where Trump praised Cruz as a “brilliant lawyer” and a “very tough competitor” from their past campaign days.
Trump shared an anecdote about a suggestion he received regarding a potential judicial appointment for Cruz, citing his legal credentials. The president joked that nominating Cruz would win unanimous support from political rivals who want him out of the Senate.

Trump indicated that the idea of nominating Cruz remains a practical option for his administration under the right political circumstances. He noted that if he were facing a difficult confirmation battle for a Supreme Court vacancy, he would seriously consider making the nomination.
