Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned that Texas will be “hotly contested” in 2020, Politico reports.
He said that while he had confidence his colleague Sen. John Cornyn and President Trump would win the state, both will face a “serious race.”
Said Cruz: “I think the Texas election in 2018 is powerful foreshadowing for what to expect across the country in 2020. The Democrats in Texas increased their turnout more than 100 percent.”
