参议员特德·克鲁兹在接受采访时表示，民主党内部存在明显的内部分歧，并预测了2028年可能参选的民主党总统候选人。他认为激进左翼已主导民主党，并指出纽约市当选市长佐兰·马姆达尼是党内活力的来源。克鲁兹预测AOC和马姆达尼将是2028年民主党总统提名的领跑者，尽管他质疑马姆达尼的参选资格。他还批评了前众议长佩洛西，认为她对党派斗争和对特朗普的憎恨加剧了民主党的激进倾向，并导致其在开放边境和废除警察等问题上采取极端立场。

🚩 **民主党内部分歧显现**: 特德·克鲁兹认为，民主党内部存在明显的“内战”，激进左翼已经占据主导地位。他指出，像纽约市当选市长佐兰·马姆达尼这样的民主社会主义者正在驱动党内的活力和热情，而主流民主党人正在迅速靠拢这些观点。

🚀 **2028年总统大选预测**: 克鲁兹预测，亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（AOC）和佐兰·马姆达尼将是2028年民主党总统提名的两位主要竞争者。尽管他质疑马姆达尼的参选资格，但认为这并不妨碍他在民主党内的政治发展，暗示其政党可能不太看重法律规定。

😠 **对党派极端化的批评**: 克鲁兹强烈批评了前众议长南希·佩洛西，认为她将一切都置于党派斗争和对唐纳德·特朗普的仇恨中，是导致民主党走向“疯狂”的主要原因之一。他指责佩洛西在担任议长期间，将众议院民主党人变成了一个“恶毒的党派极端组织”，并拥抱了诸如开放边境和废除警察等激进政策。

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said there is "clearly" a civil war within the Democratic Party in an interview with "Kudlow," also revealing his predictions for which top Democrats could make a 2028 White House run.

"Nobody's fighting on the other side," Cruz told Fox Business’ Larry Kudlow. "The radical left has taken over."

The Texas senator argued that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — a self-described Democratic Socialist — is driving the energy within the Democrats’ base.

"All of the supposedly mainstream Democrats are rushing to get behind him," he said. "That's where all the energy is. That's where the passion is."

Cruz also shared his predictions for potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders, casting doubt on one candidate’s eligibility.

"I think right now the two front-runners for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2028 are AOC and Mamdani. I think that's where — he's not even eligible — but, what do they care? Law doesn't mean anything to them. That's where their party is."

Cruz has been a vocal critic of Mamdani, labeling him a "communist jihadist" in a post to X on Thursday.

The Texas senator accused the Democratic Party of drifting into what he described as "bat-crap crazy" territory, pointing blame at a high-profile Democrat.

"Nancy Pelosi and her willingness to view everything through a partisan lens or hatred of Donald Trump is a big part of the reason why the Democrat Party has gone entirely bat-crap crazy," Sen. Cruz said.

Responding to Pelosi’s recent announcement that she will not seek re-election, Cruz accused the California lawmaker of helping radicalize Congress.

"When she was speaker of the House, she presided over turning House Democrats into a viciously partisan and extreme group," he explained. "She presided over the Democrat Party going all the way to the wacko left, including embracing open borders, including abolishing the police."
