Biography
Sen. Ted Cruz represents Texas as the junior of the state’s two senators. He was first elected to Congress in 2012 and won reelection in 2018. Since first running against him in the 2016 presidential primaries, Sen. Cruz has been one of Trump’s most loyal enablers, going so far as to support efforts to overturn the election during the certification of the Electoral College.
Following the election, Sen. Cruz continued to perpetuate the lie that voter fraud was rampant and changed the outcome of the election.
