Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) emphasized Sunday his lack of desire for a nomination to the Supreme Court, several days after President Donald Trump included the lawmaker on his expanded list of potential future nominees.

“I’m grateful that the president has that confidence in me. But it’s not the desire of my heart. I want to be in the political fight. I want to be fighting to nominate and confirm three, four, five principled, constitutionalist justices. But that’s not where I want to serve,” Cruz said during a virtual appearance on Fox News.
