Ted Cruz is not working for the people of Texas. The bloviating senator uses his bully pulpit to podcast, fire off stupid tweets, and most recently, accuse the Barbie movie of promoting Chinese propaganda.
With that in mind, Texas Democrats are salivating at the opportunity to oust Cruz next year. On Thursday, the Texas Democratic Party announced it is launching a “Beat Cruz War Room,” which will centralize opposition research and mass mobilization against Cruz.
And there’s plenty of tea to spill!“No matter who our nominee ends up being, with the help of the Beat Cruz War Room, we’re going to send Ted Cruz packing—back to his preferred Cancun resort, his plush podcast studio, campaigning for other far-right extremists in random states, or wherever the hell else he currently does from 9 to 5 when he’s supposed to be working for us,” said Gilbert Hinojosa, chair of the Texas Democratic Party.Cruz, who’s seeking a third term in 2024, is facing his strongest opposition yet.
U.S. Representative Collin Allred is running for his seat, and the young lawmaker seems like he was created out of central casting.
