Chris LaCivita, senior marketing campaign adviser for Donald Trump’s 2024 bid, took to social media on Saturday to slam Ted Cruz’s crew amid the Texas senator’s push for reelection.
“What the hell is incorrect with the Senate race in Texas ? I feel i do know …and i believe i do know his title ….time to get some actual professionals in to save lots of @tedcruz,” LaCivita wrote on X.
The dig comes as a recent poll shows Cruz — a senator for greater than a decade — is main Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) by 4 proportion factors, 47%-43%, with a margin of error of three.5 proportion factors.
Cruz, a Trump ally within the years for the reason that former president attacked his spouse throughout their 2016 GOP main rivalry, “enthusiastically” endorsed Trump earlier this 12 months.
Trump has but to endorse Cruz, who has held a narrow polling lead, as Allred seems to turn into Texas’ first Democratic senator in over three many years. He beforehand backed Cruz in his 2018 race towards Beto O’Rourke.
LaCivita’s feedback arrive after Paul Dans, the ex-director of the controversial presidential transition plan Undertaking 2025, not too long ago knocked him and Trump senior marketing campaign adviser Susie Wiles over their push for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race whereas having “no plans” for Vice President Kamala Harris.
“That’s on par with historic marketing campaign malpractice,” Dans told The New York Times.
Social media customers clowned LaCivita over his remarks in regards to the Cruz marketing campaign.
