Ted Cruz is liking what he’s seeing with the country’s vaccination rollout, and it’s got him thinking about ballin’ … even though the court at the Senate gym sucks.
The Texas Senator was arriving at Reagan National Airport in D.C. Monday when he had a hopeful chat with our photog about returning to normal, putting the pandemic behind us … and taking a member of his staff to the hole.
Sounds like Ted’s got a case of March Madness, and even though he tells us the basketball court at the Senate’s facility is terrible … he’s ready to “bang around a little bit.”
If ya don’t know, Cruz ain’t bad when it comes to playing hoops … at least compared to Jimmy Kimmel. He took down his late-night talk show host rival in a sweaty mess of a 1-on-1 match back in 2018. Thankfully, it was all for charity.
Clearly, Ted’s itching to get back to the sport and says everyone’s eager to get out of their houses after a year of dealing with COVID-19 … and he’s encouraged we’re getting closer to normalcy.
Who knows … maybe a trip to Cancun is in order for all of us soon.
