Ted Cruz Says He’s Made No Decision About 2016

Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Texas Senator Ted Cruz says that he had not made a decision to seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination despite an article that says otherwise.
A person identified as a “Cruz adviser” told the National Journal that “At this point it’s 90/10 he’s in. And honestly, 90 is lowballing it.”
The same article said the freshman senator would campaign for president on a strong foreign policy platform.
However, Cruz took to Facebook Monday to post the following denial:
“Contrary to media reports this morning, Heidi and I have not made any decisions about political plans past the mid-term elections. Clearly we have an overzealous supporter out there making freelance comments, but to be clear, no decision has been made. Whoever this ‘anonymous advisor’ was, he or she had no authority to speak, and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.”
Cruz is just one of numerous Republicans who have been mentioned as possible contenders for the 2016 Republican nomination. Others include Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
