Ted Cruz attends a Pennsylvania campaign kickoff event held on New York presidential primary night in Philadelphia, PA, April 19, 2016. Charles Mostoller—Reuters by [Daniel White](https://time.com/author/daniel-white/) ## Daniel White May 10, 2016 5:06 PM UTC Ted Cruz may be open to restarting his presidential campaign after suspending it last week. The Texas senator said in [an interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93GCRbQ5goY) with conservative talk show host Glenn Beck that he wouldn’t completely rule himself out of the race—noting that an unlikely victory in the Nebraska primary could bring his campaign back to life. “We launched this campaign intending to win, Cruz told Beck. “The reason we suspended the race last week, it was Indiana’s loss, I didn’t see a viable path to victory—if that changes we will certainly respond accordingly.” Cruz begrudgingly accepted [Trump’s impending nomination](http://time.com/4270048/trump-clinton-kasich-bloomberg-poll/), but said that he would keep his eyes on the race before offering his support to any candidate or before giving up completely. “The voters in the primary seem to have made a choice,” Cruz said. “We’ll see what happens as the months go forward, I think we need to watch and see what the candidates say and do.” His comments were far from an endorsement, as he has been slow to offer his support to Trump after [trading verbal barbs](http://time.com/4316401/donald-trump-ted-cruz-father-john-f-kennedy/) with the billionaire [for months](http://time.com/4268984/ted-cruz-donald-trump-coward-wife-heidi/). Cruz exited the race last week, after a [loss in the Indiana primary](http://time.com/4316170/indiana-primary-results-donald-trump-ted-cruz-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-republicans/), but vowed to return to Washington to lend his efforts to the GOP in the Senate. “One of the disturbing things about this election, and there are may, is that it opens the door, potentially, for what comes next,” Cruz said. “What comes next is not likely to be sound, stable leaders with good judgement and the understanding of the problem.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4324733/ted-cruz-restart-campaign-donald-trump-nebraska/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4324733/ted-cruz-restart-campaign-donald-trump-nebraska/"},"headline":"Ted Cruz Is Open to Restarting His Campaign","datePublished":"2016-05-10T17:06:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:46:10.552Z","description":"Cruz says that if his campaign showed signs of life he would jump back into the race","url":"https://time.com/4324733/ted-cruz-restart-campaign-donald-trump-nebraska/","keywords":["2016 Election","republicans","2016 Election","ted cruz","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt88f445c21183aff8/6988919bf887dc192de95b35/ted-cruz-indiana.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt88f445c21183aff8/6988919bf887dc192de95b35/ted-cruz-indiana.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republican U.S. presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz attends a Pennsylvania campaign kickoff event in Philadelphia","caption":"Ted Cruz attends a Pennsylvania campaign kickoff event held on New York presidential primary night in Philadelphia, PA, April 19, 2016.","creditText":"Charles Mostoller—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4324733/ted-cruz-restart-campaign-donald-trump-nebraska/","name":"Ted Cruz Is Open to Restarting His Campaign"}}]}] ```
