Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) issued a stark warning on Wednesday evening after Democrats flipped a Texas Senate seat and the governor’s mansion in the midterm elections.
In a lengthy statement shared on social media, the GOP senator said that “Texans will be hurt” by the blue tsunami that swept across the state and country on Tuesday.
“Their assault on business will make Texas a much less attractive place to start or grow a small business,” he wrote. “Texas will become more like California if they succeed in halting all new investment into AI.”
State Reps. James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa became the first Democrats elected to the U.S. Senate and Texas governor’s office in decades in a stunning upset for Republicans in the Lone Star State on Election Day.
“Texas is blue. That is a hard sentence to utter,” Cruz wrote. “But Texas, today at least, is blue. As we sit here today, I am the only statewide elected Republican who remains in Texas. That’s not something I ever thought I would say.”
The Texas Republican and other prominent GOP leaders, including President Trump, backed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) in the Senate race. Talarico defeated the Republican nominee by over 12 percentage points, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Cruz said he spoke with the Democratic victor following his win on Tuesday evening to congratulate him “on his very impressive victory.”
“It was a pleasant conversation, and I told him that I looked forward to working with him to try to benefit Texas,” he said.
The Republican senator said his party will need to do “two things” in the next two years under new Democratic control of both chambers of Congress: “fight the madness” and “rebuild.”

If they have a series of elections where they maintain control, then they would probably be more aggressive in putting leftist policies in place.
No kiddin. Home of the Kennebunkport Connecticut Clan.
And Elon Musk recently moved his SpaceX and Tesla headquarters to Texas...
Looks like Florida is the place to go now. The closer you are to the equator the less energy you need to launch. Something for Elon Musk to consider.
Good.
They deserve what they’ve been voting for.
Not necessarily a Cruz fan, but yesterday he was reported to have predicted a possible Blue Wave in Texas, and a bunch of people here dismissed him because, well, he’s Ted Cruz.
dems first over reach in Texas will be a gun grab...id lay 50-1 odds if i were making book.
Yes you’re supposed to attack anything Cruz says. Also DeSantis. There was an article posted here Monday where Cruz said he was “very worried” about the election. So about 90% of the comments were people mocking him, saying he’s a loser blah blah blah.
I am sure that DeSantis and Cruz have well-above-average IQs. The “conservatives” who despise them don’t.
Great post.
I completely agree.
The state constitution prohibits an income tax.
Perhaps, my prediction is with a Hispanic governor, the first overreach in Texas will an attempt to make Texas a sanctuary state, prevent state and local law enforcement from working with ICE, flood Texas with illegals and work to get the registered to vote, cementing their current electoral success.
Blue tsunami? WTH? Have they -already- counted the votes? Usually it takes a couple of weeks to get election results! /s
Amazing that they had results so quickly last night. I wonder what the difference was this year? /s

Something is Fishy
With the price oil dropping like a rock moments after the results, thye are hurrying up to get the cheaper diesel before it is all gone.
