Cruz Prepares for Battle Against McConnell

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) “has found a way to seize the spotlight at a time his campaign for president is losing the battle for buzz.” The Hill reports.

“The Texas Republican on Sunday will attempt an unusual procedural move to overturn Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) blocking of his amendment on the Iran nuclear deal. McConnell, seeking to move a federal highway funding bill through the Senate fast, has cut off most amendments to the measure — though he is allowing a vote on reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank.”

“That decision has infuriated Cruz, who took to the floor on Friday to accuse his leader of lying to him.”
