Ted Cruz a ‘moderate’ in Texas, former spokesman says

Published



Rick Tyler, a former spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz, said the conservative Republican is “right in the middle” along the political spectrum between the Right and the Left.

He made the comment during a conversation Wednesday about Cruz’s general election matchup against Democrat Beto O’Rourke, both of whom won their respective primaries on Tuesday, adding that the senator is akin to “a moderate Texan” and “pretty strong for re-election in Texas.”
