Even though there were some past tensions between the two and harsh words exchanged during 2016 primary season, lately there have been no reports of political rivalry between Ted Cruz and Trump. This apparent overt support for a business that was recently cited for violation of phased reopening of state businesses based on President/VP led Coronavirus Task Force guidelines could be just a coincidence :
Ted Cruz gets haircut at salon whose owner flouted orders
Cruz, who spent two weeks in self-isolation in March after saying he came into contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, said he flew up from Houston to get his first haircut in three months at Salon à la Mode. He did so one day after its owner, Shelley Luther, walked out of jail after a court ordered her released.
Luther spent less than 48 hours behind bars after a Dallas judge sentenced her to a week in jail for defying Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's emergency orders that did not allow hair salons to reopen yet. Abbott had said violators of his coronavirus orders could face up to 180 days in jail, but he rushed to Luther's defense Thursday and stripped his order of jail as a possible punishment for flouting the virus restrictions.
Cruz called Luther's punishment “ridiculous” but sidestepped questions about what might have been an appropriate penalty for her for violating an order, The Dallas Morning News reported. The judge only sent her to jail after she refused to apologize for disobeying the order and said she would continue to do so.

Trump just knee-capped Governor Kemp

One of the more surprising recent political moments was when President Trump publicly lambasted Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. It's rare — and politically damaging — for a Republican official to get steamrolled the way Kemp did last week.

Trump’s coronavirus rift with Kemp puts Georgia Republicans in a tough spot
Many other GOP officials were conspicuously unwilling to wade into the high-stakes row after Trump said he “totally disagreed” with Kemp’s decision to let barber shops, tattoo parlors and other businesses reopen Friday if they followed safety measures.
