Rand Paul: The Idea That Senators Don’t Like Ted Cruz ‘May Be Overstated’

Ted Cruz has received one endorsement from a fellow Republican senator and a few “oh all right”s from others, further fueling the idea that Cruz is disliked by many of his colleagues. But Rand Paul didn’t exactly confirm it today.

Paul deferred on that lack of support by saying senators are focusing on promoting “their agenda” and their states.

When pressed on whether there’s a dislike of Cruz, even in the face of Trump, Paul said, “I think that may be overstated.”

For the record, back in September, Paul really tore into Cruz for attacking their Senate colleagues and saying that legislatively, “he’s pretty much done for.”
