Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Joe Biden‘s failed policies as leading to his latest sinking presidential polling.
In the latest New York Times-Siena College poll, Biden is trailing Donald Trump, with the former president leading in five of six critical swing states ahead of the 2024 election.

“I think these poll numbers are a manifestation of the reality of the Biden record, that the last three years under Joe Biden had been an absolute trainwreck,” Cruz said to podcast host Megyn Kelly on Monday.
Cruz added, “If it were straight up based on the merits, I think the numbers would be an even bigger landslide than that because the Biden record is terrible. It’s why Biden, the Democrats, their strategy is simple: Attack Trump.”
The Texas senator told SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show that the Democratic campaign message is “Trump is the devil.”
“At least these poll numbers show that people are focused on their lives, their families, their kids, and Biden and the Democrats have screwed up the policies concerning all of this,” Cruz said.
Kelly told Cruz that “no Democrat” could become the nominee and overcome the impact of the Biden administration’s policies.

Cruz shared a theory that he had floated before that former first lady Michelle Obama could “parachute in” as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election.
“I think that would be incredibly dangerous. I don’t want to see that happen, but I don’t want people to be caught by surprise,” the former Republican presidential candidate said of Obama’s possible entrance.
