Ted Cruz: Ken Paxton Will Be the Next Senator from Texas; ‘We’re Going to Stay Red, but It Is a Fight’

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: “Well, listen, we have a very real race in Texas. I believe we’re going to win. I think Ken Paxton is going to be the next senator from Texas. We’re going to stay red, but it is a fight. It is a serious fight. It’s going to cost several hundred million dollars. The Democrats are flooding cash into the state of Texas. California, New York, they’re pumping cash into Texas. And the result is we have a fight on our hand. Here’s the good news. Talarico’s record is extreme. It is far radical left-wing. He believes God is nonbinary. He believes there’s six different genders. He believes on our southern border we should have a welcome mat and welcome illegal immigrants into this country. He is genuinely extreme. He has voted in favor of boys in girls’ sports. He’s voted in favor of allowing China to buy land in Texas, including land near military bases. Those are all left-wing views that are not where the voters of Texas are. And so, we got a campaign right now. We got to make the case to the voters. And I think we’re going to win in November. I think Talarico would be a great Senate candidate for California, but thank God, Texas is not California.”
