Ted Cruz calls GOP midterm losses a 'blue tsunami' in Texas

Texas Senator Ted Cruz called the Republican Party's sweeping midterm losses a "blue tsunami" and an "a-- kicking," citing economic pain from tariffs and the Iran war as key factors in the Democratic surge. Democrats ended over three decades of GOP rule in Texas, winning the U.S. Senate seat, governor's office, and other statewide posts, while flipping the state House. Cruz pointed to high prices and repossessions as evidence of voter hardship. Cruz, who remains the only statewide elected Republican in Texas, said the party must listen and champion economic policies for working people. He is not up for reelection until 2030.
