Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, left, greets JD Vance, Republican candidate for U.S. Senator for Ohio, at a campaign rally in Medina, Ohio, Friday, Oct. 21, 2022.for blowing what he called a"generational opportunity" to win control of Congress in the midterms, calling for fellow Republicans to"fire" Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"I am so pissed off, I cannot even see straight," Cruz said on his podcast, which was recorded after Democrats clinched the Senate."The rage Americans are feeling across this country, the rage I am feeling — there are almost not words to describe it. The Texas Republican is calling for the Senate GOP to delay leadership elections set for this week, a move supported by a handful of other Senate Republicans. And Cruz urged voters to call every Republican in the Senate to push them get on board. That would include Cruz's fellow Texas Republican, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who is a close ally of McConnell's.
"It’s really dumb for the Republican leader to take a two by four to them while they are running," Cruz said."Once they're our damn nominees, don’t stand up and kneecap them when they’re running."

Democrats retain grip on U.S. Senate, defying Republican 'red wave' predictionsPHOENIX (Reuters) -Democrats held onto control of the U.S. Senate while limiting projected losses in the House, handing a major victory to President Joe Biden and extinguishing hopes of the 'red wave' that Republicans had expected leading into the midterm elections. Democratic leaders described the outcome - sealed late Saturday with a win for the incumbent senator in Nevada - as both a vindication of their agenda and a rebuke of Republican candidates, many of whom had parroted former president Donald Trump's false claims about widespread election fraud. 'We were on the edge of autocracy and, thank God, the American people pulled us back in this election,' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said at a news conference on Sunday.
