Ted Cruz’s daughter Caroline has gone viral for her shocking reaction to her father’s praise for President Elect Donald Trump.
The 16-year-old – who has previously revealed she doesn’t agree with her dad’s political views – was unable to keep a straight face after her father claimed victory as a Texas senator.
On November 5, the veteran lawmaker won a third consecutive term after a tough challenge from Democratic Rep. Colin Allred.

His message to Trump, who comfortably won Texas and regained his seat in the White House, was met with a look of disgust from Caroline, as she told audience members ‘don’t clap for that.’

This isn’t the first time the 16-year-old – who was hospitalized for self-inflicted knife wounds in 2022 – has spoken out against her father.
