A senator from Texas Ted Cruz revealed that it is in Donald TrumpThe Mar-a-Lago Club on Wednesday, along with a number of nationals republican figures who gathered at the Florida resort for high-profile fundraising.
The Republican MP published two photos of himself Twitter in Palm Beach, both promising a “red wave” in the November midterm elections.
On Thursday, he will speak at the Conference on Conservative Political Action in Orlando, where Trump will deliver a speech on Saturday.
“I was pleased to visit with President Trump today in Mar-A-Lago,” Cruz signed a photo of himself standing next to the former president in a highly decorated lobby. “Red wave is coming!”
While Cruz chose a suit and tie, Trump was more casual in a white golf polo shirt, black pants and a red MAGA hat.
The second photo shows Cruz sitting at a table with Republican Senate nominee and former football star Herschel Walker.
Walker was persuaded by Trump, his longtime friend, to challenge the new Democratic senator Rafael Warnock, who won his seat in a special election early last year.
“I had a fantastic time visiting today with the greats[Herschel Walker]and then interviewed him in front of hundreds of supporters and patriots in Mar-A-Lago. A red wave is coming! Cruz wrote on Twitter.

During a fundraiser for Trump’s midterm elections, Cruz held a “chat by the fire” event with Georgia Senate nominee Herschel Walker (left).
Behind them hung a picture of what looked like a young Donald Trump sitting in a richly decorated gold frame.
The Texas senator’s face-to-face meeting with Trump comes the same day as he shared rare praise for former President’s rival, President Joe Biden, for imposing sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline in retaliation for Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. .
Cruz’s hawkish stance against Putin is a rare departure from Trump, who on Tuesday praised Putin’s move to declare Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine “independent.”
“I came in yesterday and there was a TV screen and I said, ‘That’s brilliant,'” Trump said. “Putin declares a large part of Ukraine – from Ukraine – Putin declares it independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.
Cruz was at the former president’s home the same day, and donors and candidates flocked to the Trump Take Back forum.
Extremely wealthy GOP donors can pay up to $ 250,000 on the spot for the glamorous event, NBC News reported. Basic access costs $ 3,000.
This was announced as a way for Trump-backed congressional candidates to increase their chances of helping Republicans regain a majority in the interim.
But reports say the money goes directly to Trump’s Super PAC, which is holding the “Make America Great Again,” event!

It takes place one day before the annual Conference on Conservative Political Action in Orlando, a multi-day program with numerous speeches by prominent GOP MPs. Trump will head the event again, as he did years ago.
Many of the former president’s high-ranking guests on Wednesday, including Cruz, will also speak at the CPAC.
Other images released by Wednesday’s fundraising campaign show Tennessee House nominee and former Trump State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus posing with former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“It’s great to be with my friend [Pam Bondi] in Mar A Lago! She is a true American patriot and I am grateful for our friendship! ‘ Ortagus signed the photo on Twitter.
Ryan Zinke, a former Trump interior minister who is now running for a seat in the Montana House of Representatives, posted a photo of himself speaking at the event on Instagram.
Zinke also shared an image of Ohio spokesman Jim Jordan interviewing Liz Cheney contender Harriet Hedgeman during some of the Q&A events.
Hedgeman, once an ardent supporter of Cheney, now has the support of Trump to take over the conservative incumbent for his seat as the only Wyoming representative in the House of Representatives. In a sign of Trump’s continued dominance over the Republican Party, senior lawmakers such as Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have also pledged to support Hedgeman’s candidacy.
Former Trump Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, who is running for a seat in the Montana House of Representatives, also posted photos of the event.

Another photo from the event appears to show a GOP donor along with former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Trump-backed Nevada Senate nominee Adam Laxalt and Florida envoy Mike Waltz also reportedly attended the event.
Republicans appear confident they are heading for this year’s midterm elections, with reports that they have already drawn up plans for 2023 if they are to win back a majority in the House of Representatives and Senate.
The recent reshuffle has given Democrats in the House of Representatives a slight advantage in the upcoming more seats, which are likely to turn blue, according to Cook’s non-partisan political report.
However, the failure to adopt key parts of Biden’s agenda, such as reform of voting rights, and the decline in presidential polls threaten to lead to the red wave predicted by Cruz on Wednesday.
According to the latest data from the sociological program FiveThirtyEight, Republicans are constantly leading in the general polls against the Democrats.
Currently, an average of 45 percent of voters would vote for a candidate in the GOP Congress, compared to 42.5 percent who support Democrats.
