Texas Senator Ted Cruz is under fire for supporting the debunked theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. Lawmakers and other public officials in Texas are calling for Cruz to resign. On Wednesday, Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill, parroting the claim that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said Cruz "undermined our democracy, inspired treasonous, seditious acts, and brought shame to Texas."
Beto O'Rourke has a long and storied history of failure. His alt-weekly flopped. His record band went nowhere. He lost a Senate race to one of the most disliked senators of all time, Ted Cruz. His presidential campaign is considered one of the worst in American presidential political history. O'Rourke dedicated two years to flipping his home state, Texas, to the Democratic party. Beto failed at that too. Now, what is the former congressman going to do? Teach at Texas State and write a book about Democracy. Dallas Morning News reports Beto will be paid $7,500 to teach a course next semester at Texas State University. He is also "writing a book on democracy in the U.S. through the lens of Texas."
Although Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina hasn't released his third-quarter numbers yet, it's likely he's breaking into a cold sweat. That's because his Democratic challenger, Jamie Harrison, raised a record $57 million in the third quarter of 2020. The deluge in cash led to an appeal by Graham to his supporters on Fox News, where he said that he 'was getting killed financially' by Harrison. Business Insider reports Harrison beat the fundraising record of then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas, who ran against Republican Ted Cruz in 2018. The most recent Quinnipiac University poll showed both Harrison and Graham tied at 48% support.
