but i have to go with ted cruz.ketball with me? playing basketball with ted cruz should be a form of community service. >> a punishment. >> they caught you speeding, you have to pay $100 and play basketball with ted cruz. and you have to play chess with marjorie taylor greene. who want to play basketball with ted cruz? he played against jimmy kimmel for charity. they played two hours. jimmy kimmel made fun of the fact he was bad of it and they did it for charity. they kept missing shot after shot. ted cruz says he plays basketball all the time. he is awful. terrible. >> i feel like he got booed once in a sporting event. >> he gets booed a lot. >> at mcdonalds. wherever he is. he gets booed. >> let me ask you about santos quickly. seriously. does this guy seriously have, since you are from long island, does he have a shot at winning as an independent? >> no! like, and the fact that george santos has no shame. why was he at the state of the union? there is nobody that will vote for him. and what makes me so tang reint

ted cruz is ted cruz. he is a good punching bag for folks to go after.t the end of the day, there is a resonance with voters that keeps him not just on the ballot but in the office. >> i think what we are seeing is an internal civil war in texas among the republican party. and it is going in the direction of the folks that i don't think represent the majority of texans. we are getting away from rick perry and george bush and towards the far right. we had very conservative state legislatures that are far to right in the primary. they are going too far. cruz has been one of the leaders of that. i'm a different candidate. i'm a different problem for senator cruz. i have been the most bipartisan member of the entire texas delegation. i have workeded hard at reaching across the aisle. i have real bona fides in working with the chamber of congress and i'm pro business. it will be harder for them. that's part of the way i grew up and where i come from. i believe we have bring those together around our values. i was a fourth generation texan. went to school in b

i don't know why ted cruz refuses to secure our border.s of more cpp officers, why he refuses more immigration judges, why he refuses the administrative staff help us faster process asylum claims. we lad a record number of crossings in december. we have a crisis at our border. we can respond consistent with our values. we're big enough and great enough country to do this in an orderly fashion, make sure to take care of our border communities who bear the brunt of our inaction. when we're not acting, that burden falls on them. but we don't have to do it with barbed wire, inhumanity. that only reduces who we are. and that's what, you know, ted cruz and his ilk are always pushing is that, well, if we just are cruel, then that will somehow mean a more secure border. it doesn't mean that. but it also hurts all of us. it hurts our standing abroad, us here in our own hearts in terms of what is being done in our names. >> congressman colin allred from the great state of texas. i thank you for being here. to be clear, there is an open invitation fo

it's not just ted cruz, it's all of them.and the reason our country is messed up, one of the big reasons is the fact that they're all taken care of by every industry, whether it's the automobile industry. you want to bring ford back from mexico. they'll tell you why you can't bring ford back because they get campaigned, got your beauticians. they can't bring ford back. you're right. he's right. okay, now, look. so i'm self-funding when i want to bring somebody back, i bring them back. nobody's going to call me and say, you can't do it. let let me give you an example. so the other day, i'm watching television and i see somebody with the cell phone, the crazy cell phones where you watch. i'm watching television and i see carrier. i buy air conditioners from carrier and many others i won't buy anymore from carrier, by the way. and they're firing everybody from carrier, 1400 people, great jobs. they've been there for many years. they they're firing these people. why? because they're moving to mexico. oh, great, great. how does th

it's also outrageous we have a senator like ted cruz who is only focused on himself.ts our state abandons us. who attacks our democracy. we can do so much better than him in texas. we are going to cover that gap. >> ted cruz has never answered the concerns of a woman, such as you have just described is going to get the state of the union tomorrow night. he has never said here's what i think should happen in cases like that. >> right. no. in fact, he is someone who is never been camera shy and flees every time a camera or someone wants to have kim about the predictable results of the policies that he has championed and pursued. which has led us to this position we are now. in texas where we have these tragedies of women who are victims of rape and incest with nowhere to go. we have stories like katie cox. we are also seeing the downstream effects in some areas of our economy, medical schools, universities. this will have some a wide reaching impact for us. the only way we can solve this is by codifying roe v. wade at the federal level. i need folks help to make sure we

maria: senator ted cruz joins me right now. good to have you, thank you for joining us, there is common ground whether republican or democrat when talking about the wide-open border. >> that is exactly right i gotta say people in texas are looking at what is happening under joe biden and you cannot defend it it's an absolute catastrophe. this is an invasion of our southern border template for a meeting of illegal immigrants have come in under joe biden and when you are down in south texas and as sheriff domingos is in your scene every day in the dead bodies 853 migrants died last year coming into the country every day dead body after dead body after dead body, texas farmers and ranchers finding them every day when you look at the children as i have many times and you look at little boys and little girls that have been brutalized by human traffickers and women who have been brutally raped and when you see the pain and the suffering of more than 100,000 americans have died of drug overdoses in the last year you cannot defend joe

and a state that is picking a democrat to take on senator ted cruz.crat has won a senate race there since 1988. it is also where a long time well known incumbent is facing a rare democratic opponent. nbc's priscilla thompson is reporting in dallas. back with us is matthew dowd. a lot of interesting stuff going on where you are. how contentious could the down ballot races be in the state today? >> reporter: yeah, chris, it is going to be interesting. as it relates to this senate race, you have got nine democrats vying for an opportunity to take on senator ted cruz. and important to note, if none of them get a majority today, that race is going to advance to a runoff. so, while ted cruz will focus his attention on a general election, the democrats may have two more months of duking it out for who is going to be up against him in november. and we caught up with the man who was leading the pack in terms of the democrats right now, congressman colin allred. and we asked him about the big issue that is animating this race and that, of course, is immigration

look at ted cruz.they had -- it was a battle, talking about each other's wives. >> steve: until may. >> ainsley: then ted cruz needed him down it texas. donald trump went down there and helped him with that race when he was running against bourque betoo'rourke. if nikki haley wants to continue and have a future in politics maybe they can come together because maybe they will need each other down the road? >> bret: yeah. i think that's a great point, ainsley. and that is a great analogy as well. ted cruz, he went all the way to the convention. you remember he gave that speech on the floor and then the trump family walked in and sat there while he was speaking? i mean, that was pure drama. >> lawrence: vote your conscience. >> bret: it is possible. it's a matter of figuring out how you can scratch each other's back. again, i'm not sure that vp is the one. >> bret: do you know what is interesting what kellyanne said is that jared and ivanka are really tight with the haley family. >> ainsley: don jr. tweet

una de ellas, sin lugar a dudas, es la de ted cruz, quien ha sido proyectado ya como ganador por nuestrallred, un abogado de derechos civiles y roland gutiérrez, quien es un senador tejano. los temas más importantes aquí para los votantes en el estado de texas sigue siendo el tema de inmigración. con la crisis que se vive en estos momentos en la frontera, recientemente el presidente de los estados unidos estuvo presente, al igual que el señor donald trump, pero un estudio chiu asegura que el tema principal es, sin lugar a dudas, la economía. le sigue la educación y también temas de trabajo. unos temas que estarán sin lugar a dudas en la mente de los votantes. para las próximas elecciones presidenciales del mes de noviembre. eso es todo lo que tenemos. aranza regresamos contigo al estudio. francisco, muchas gracias por tu reporte. ahora, la otra joya de esta noche es california y tiene bastantes delegados también, pero ya tenemos algunos de los resultados y para eso vamos a hacer contacto directo con edgar muñoz, quien tiene reacciones y también algunos de estos resultados. edgar buenas n

he worked for senator ted cruz. margaret is back with us as promised. ron, what have we learned here coming out of super tuesday? >> well, the process this time is even shorter than it was when i was senator cruz's spokesman in 2016. here it is in march, and the process is effectively over. many more americans had the opportunity to weigh in that time, but there's been a real effort internally within the republican party to wrap this up early. the reality is candidates don't like primaries, but they make you a stronger candidate. i think by short-circuiting this primary process, that the opportunities to get better and stronger has been kind of missed. those states where nikki haley did the best are many of those battleground states that have large suburban population, and it would be suburbia that will ultimately decide between donald trump and joe biden. >> ron, there was no love lost between your then boss ted cruz and donald trump. it got a lot rougher on both sides than this thing ever did. ted cruz ultimately said at the convention, vote your cons

they ritually humiliate themselves, tim scott has done it, ted cruz has done it. what do you make of that? >> it's one of the most astounding things, astounding phenomena of the trump era to me because i can't possibly understand it. i can't understand why it would be worth holding public office if you're going to humiliate yourself like that. but, it is part of the cultish authoritarian play book. you have to submit to the leader. and the people who you are alarming saying there are crises that don't really exist, they want to see a leader humiliate others. they want to see someone who is strong. they want to see someone they can look up to. it doesn't matter whether the man can spell or whether the man is a narcissistic or sociopath, in fact, it helps. >> yeah. >> and this is -- it's part of the package. >> yeah. go ahead. >> really quick, one other thing that we're underestimating and we remember this is fear. people do not want to be -- there's the kind of calculated careerist fear that you can lose your office. but various points where people were afraid of t

what should people know about ted cruz? >> yeah. well serving in public office should be about the folks you are trying to serve and not about yourself. to me, ted cruz is the ultimate me guy. i think he is always looking about himself. when we have critical legislation that would help our state, the votes against it. he consistently has pitted us against each other because it pushes him forward for this is something i think most texans are tired of. so i hear you all talking about where we have been and what the margins of victory need to be, let me tell you, texans are tired of being embarrassed by their senator and they know they can get a new one and that is what this campaign will be all about >> congressman colin allred, always a pleasure talking with you. i know you got a lot of work ahead, thank you so much for joining us. we are going to bring back and matthew dowd, our texas expert, one of them, joining us here to talk a little bit more about this race. let me ask you, matthew, you have been involved in some aspects of pol

ted cruz is the the ultimate me guy.feel really strong ly, we is more powerful than me. as texans, we can go in a very different direction. we have to be embarrassed but our senator. we can get a new one. a lot of folks are wondering about texas. but i'm a four generation texan. i was raised in dallas by a single mop mom. i went to school at baylor. i think i know who we are. and we're not who ted cruz says we are. we're going to show that on november 5th. >> how much of sort of defying texas' recent political history because texas has elected plenty of powerful democrats, but how much is it something has changed in texas with the overreach and just the political mayhem on the right and how much of it is unique to what you just art ticlated, your story? >> it's some of both. certainly, what we have seen here is a vast overreach by republican party here in texas that i don't recognize. that's not the one they grew up around. certainly not the folks that i went to school at baylor with or grew up around in dallas. many of

so folks like ted cruz cannot fourth texas women to flee their own state to get the healthcare they need and outrageous. allie and i have been blessed with two baby boys in dallas over the last five years. i was at every ultrasound appointment, those rooms are too small to have had cruise in there when you are trying to make decisions. >> in the texas senate race it is now he is against senator cruise after taking 50% of the vote, carson reminded texans where senator cruise was when he had worked to do. >> you know i am a civil rights lawyer, i have to talk about doctor king, he said the ultimate measure of a leader is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience it is where they stand in the most challenging moments, we know were ted cruz stands when those moments come, when 30 million texans are freezing in the dark he decides to go to cancun. when our democracy was under attack he was hiding in the supply closet. after he whipped up the mob, we know where he stands. >> tuning is now in the winners circle is texas democratic congressman colin. thank you very much for join

now if you don't mind, we're going to get to the news in a new interview, texas senator ted cruz saidident biden has done, quote, "what no president of either party has ever done and ignored the rule of law. huh. wonder if trump heard that from court. [ laughter ] one more sketch of this guy, and we can make an animated series in his remarks after his presidential immunity hearing yesterday, former president trump claimed that if he was in office there would be no war in ukraine or israel. really you couldn't even keep america from attacking itself. trump also said that there would be, quote, "bedlam" in the country if he's prosecuted oh, i'm sure he's right. parade floats blocking traffic a massive champagne shortage you wouldn't be able to walk a block without a stranger kissing you. also, he said there would be bedlam i'm not sure you can use that word and claim the other guy is too old. not a lot of teens using "bedlam. new jersey senator robert menendez spoke on the senate floor yesterday and defended himself against accusations of bribery he said he refuses to step down unless s

our good buddy ted cruz.come november's had enough the longest leading server serving leader others and you and i've been critical of him. who might replace him is it important whom ever whomever is actually begin to reflect the conservative base of the republican party as opposed to hitting that base? >> we need a leader in the son who is a conservative it. we need a leader in the senate who will work hand-in-hand with the president trump. we need a leader committed to do what were doing. you look at the frustration across this country so many millions of us feel, it fundamentally comes down to the dishonesty of some of the elected officials say one thing on the campaign trail and do the opposite it's very important the next senate i hope majority leader will beat someone who is committed on our promises. morgan secure our border to curb government spending to defend the constitution if it is just lip service will be justified and be just as frustrated as they are right now. >> we have a republican leader wh

so i don't think the ted cruz playbook is the way to go. i would love to see her give a speech, you know, i've previously said, she's a vice presidential possibility. that ship may have sailed. to her point yesterday, she said primaries, we get to make a choice. general elections we are given a choice. well, the choice now is the chaos and destruction of joe biden or the peace and prosperity of donald trump. >> dana: she was really the first person in the race, i thought, to zero in on kamala harris and she said we are actually running against her. shannon bream, of course, our host of "fox news sunday" joins us as well. shannon, your reaction to nikki haley's speech? >> shannon: well, that line, i wish any american president well was -- it reminded me of shades of sort of ron desantis when the governor got out and said i took a pledge and i will honor it. nikki haley didn't go that far. she's not giving the half hearted endorsement. we'll have to see. i think this is about her maintaining or trying to retain whatever power she thinks she h

he won the state's democratic primary to face ted cruz in november.t agreed to yet, but we hope he will. thanks for being here. congratulations. >> thanks for having me. >> you won the primary but you are a democrat running statewide in texas. you know the record. so what do you do, how do you beat what happened with beto o'rourke and others who tried to take on the republicans in the senate? >> i think part of it is what you just covered. we have had a crisis at the border in texas and in particular when we have these numbers that we've been seeing, it does put a burden on our border communities and the officers. i've talked to them about the mental health issues. and then you have a senator like ted cruz who has a bipartisan conservative negotiated bill to try to address it and takes it down because of the politics. so i'm glad the president talked about that. because it wasn't the policy they disagreed with, it was because they wanted to run on the problem. and texans are tired of that. so i think that we'll beat ted cruz in november because i thin

other than that, i voted for ted cruz. host: thomated cruz in the past? caller: of course. thank god they don't have beta on the democrat primary. host: what do you like about senator cruz record? how he has represented? caller: my wife says he's a he's a very conservative man, and he believes in family values, and he kind of disagrees with the former senator -- you know, that stepped down a few days ago and said he was not going to pursue his senate leadership? mitch mcconnell. senator mcconnell. kwuex yes so i don't think ted cruz is anywhere near being the senate majority leader, but hopefully they vote somebody in. i don't think it should be cornyn. host: why not? caller: [laughter] i don't like him very cruz a lot more than i like cornyn. host: what don't you like about senator john cornyn? thomas ? caller: there's a couple of other things i wanted to say. about donald trump -- so, i just don't understand how the journalists and all of the vice president's msnbc, cnn, they hate him so much. why do you hate this guy so much. host: all right, thomas, you already made tha

and they are -- the and there are public servants and there's ted cruz. is. when i was in the■e n, h guys . we called them me guys. we don't have to be embarrassed by senators. we can get a new one. like i said, i'm about as texas as you get. there is one thing i know about us as texans in freedom, and that's what this election will be all about, restoring our freedoms. w, i'm a civil rights lawyer, so i have to talk about dr. king, and he said this -- the measure of a leader is not where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience but stand in the most challenging moments. we know where ted cruz stands on when 30 million texans are freezing in the dark, he decides to go to cancun. when over democracy was under attack, he is hiding in the supply closet after he was the one■ho whipped up the mob. we know where he stands. i want you to know i willd with. i will always put texas first. i will always make sure that i'm keeping you in mind not my own li we have had enough of that. we have had enough of me guys. it's time to go bacbeeving in the power of w

one of the many democrats running in the primary today to challenge republican incumbent senator ted cruzd the number of migrants crossing this river and into the united states. bret? >> bret: rich edson in laredo, thanks. custom and border protection services tell fox a columbian national on the fbi's terror watch list was apprehended february 21st in eagle pass, texas. just days before former president trump visited that area. the suspect was taken into custody by texas officials then turned over to border patrol. customs data shows there have been 59 matches to the terror watch list since this fiscal year began october 1st. all but one have been on the southern border. >> bret: breaking tonight arizona democrat turned independent senator kyrsten sinema says she will not run for re-election. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill to tell us why. what she is saying about it. what this could mean for that arizona senate race. good evening, chad. >> bret, good evening. there was no clear path for sinema to win. she left the democratic party and is now an indepen

he's now joined democrats for ted cruz coalition. here's a bits of video they just dropped. >> i have 108 miles of boarder and the last two years, border is out of control. >> harris: the sheriff will be in the audience and guest of senator cruz, republican of great state of ted cruz. i spoke with the senator just minutes ago. senator, first of all, tell me about the journey to get your coalitiontology and the -- coalition together and what you're bringing tonight? >> i'm supporting my campaign and reelection this year and it's because the national democrat party changed and it's lost touch with who the party used to be. this is not your father or grandfather's democrat party. texans want a senator who supports common sense and supports jobs and energy and supports law enforcement and texans want a senator to fight to secure the boarder and sheriff dominguez has been a sheriff in south texas and along the rio grande river and he's been a democrat for 28 years and he's supporting me for 12 years in the senate, i fought to defend the s

we know where ted cruz stands on those moments come.ezing in the dark, he dides to go to cancun. when over democracy was under attack, he is hiding in the supply closet after he was the one who whipped up the mob. stands. i want you to know i will always stand with you. i will always put texas first. i will make sure that i'm keeping you in mind not my own political future for any nonsense like that. we have had enough of of me guy. it's time to back believing in the power of we. in this year's senate races, this tim from arizon independent senator kyrsten sinema announced she would not race between ruben gallego and kari lake. next, two interviews large followings. first, isaiah hernandez, environmental activist and progressive, and then a reporteo specializes in covering undercover stories through a conservative lens. both have followings of hundreds of thousands on tiktok, instagram, youtube, and talked to c-span about their work in the digital space and how they carved out audiences in today's political environment. >> isaiah hernan

ted cruz ted cruz is well-positioned to withstand the millions chuck schumer will spend to prop up thered miles apart. trump and republicans maintain biden can address the border by reversing the executive order he signed upending trump policies. biden says he needs congress to act and trump working to think that bipartisan compromise is only creating more chaos down here. the border is also an issue for the supreme court. they have temporarily put a stop to a texas law while this works through the court system. that texas law would allow local state law enforcement to detain those that they suspect have entered the country illegally. >> trace: rich edson in texas, thank you. let's bring in jason chaffetz and roman, thank you for coming on. we talked about top issues there. i want to play some sound on voters talking about both the border as well as the economy. >> the economy, mostly, illegal immigration. and just all the stupidity and ridiculousness that's going on in the country right now needs to stop. it's that simple. >> immigration, the economy. >> immigration and the economy, b

and it's something that even those republicans that are just turned off by ted cruz, they can rely onbe a real race. >> and he probably won't run off to cancun at a time when his state is actually freezing. my guess is he would probably stay in the state and do his job. i'll put that on myself. i won't put that on you. >> the shade. >> just a little bit. >>> coming up next, striking new data shows that abortions are actually at the highest level in more than a decade thanks to medication. something the supreme court could restrict nationwide now they have taken up a case on despite they would leave abortion up to the states when they overturned roe. stay with us. ith us my biggest concern when i started golo was food. i'm a big guy and, shockingly, i like to eat. i was worried it was gonna be like other diets that were bland and restrictive. but with golo, my meals are great, and i'm no longer hungry like i was before. i'm so pleased i gave golo a shot. don't wait, go to golo.com. i bought the team! kevin...? i bought the team! i put it on my chase freedom unlimited card. and i'm gonn

ted cruz and republicans were already itching to go after collin allred. we saw that yesterday before polls closed going after allred. in california we think we all were sort of predicting it would be a schiff-garvey matchup. we'll see how schiff performs in the general election. i don't think any surprises besides american samoa. going back to 2020 mike bloomberg won that territory, we were all it was the joke and last night it surprised us again. >> good call back. it was the one contest michael bloomberg won four years ago. national politics reporter for the hill, julia manchester, thank you for starting us off this morning. we really appreciate it. >>> coming up on "way too early" we'll have much, much more on the results from super tuesday. plus what we're learning about a reported meeting between donald trump and elon musk. >>> and the senate gop race to succeed minority leader mitch mcconnell is taking shape. we'll take a look at who's in and who's out. those stories and a check on sports and weather when we come right back. and weather when we righ

mcconnell and ted cruz. >> all right. >> if donald trump had ever attacked ted cruz's wife, ever called her ugly, ever struck out at her in the most personal of terms, that is texas tough right there. >> that is a real man. >> no bs. >> you can't cross that line. >> you cross the line with ted, you might as well have crossed the rio grande, my friend. >> on the way to cancun? >> yeah. >> you can't -- look -- >> the retrieval of memories. >> call ted cruz's wife ugly or say his father assassinated jfk, he won't support you. >> at least for a couple months. >> not at the convention. >> a few months later, he'll do a phone bank for donald trump. >> well, lindsey graham is -- >> another, yeah. >> there is a guy, though. >> no. >> i mean, that guy. >> profile in courage. >> mr. spine. >> go on the floor. >> enough is enough. i'm out. then three red necks and a hound dog chase him around reagan national. >> it's not like someone puts his cell phone out there. >> yeah. >> i think we need a compilation. start with chris christie in the mcdonald's episode. >> on mcconnell, though, i will say, th

coming up shortly, after tonight, if polls are correct, any effort to reach across and say like ted cruz and marco rubbio, would you call her and each out for her? >> she said she would never run against me and she did. she said she beat ron desantis in iowa and she didn't. she misrepresents facts, she is not doing very well against byted biden. i want everybody to come together and have a unified party, our real opponent happens to be named biden and he's a disaster, worst president in this history. >> lawrence: mr. president, quickly, we only have a little bit of tall. do you say after tonight, nikki haley join me on stage for good of the republican party, is that your request tonight? >> there is no path for her to win, whether she likes hearing that or not, no path for her to win. today i should win hopefully every state, i won north dakota last night 87 to practically nothing. there is no path. you saw the vote in texas, that is a poll. 100% for trump. no path. what is she doing other than hurting the republican party? democrats gave her a lot of money, because as certain pacific, p

and ted cruz crawled back to support him he talked about marco rubio. i mean, it wasn't just marco rubio criticizing the size of the man's hands and his hands are tiny, but it wasn't just that marco rubio crawls back to donald trump. you see this all the time. he is a force of personality. donald trump is a force of personality and what he's done is all of these individuals who he's lambasted, criticized but you. >> all. come back to them. i do think however tim scott had ben carson are probably higher on the vp stakes poll list for donald trump than marco rubio. i think he's probably going to emily a marco rubio, much like he did mitt romney. you recall that dinner where he invited mitt romney out to talk about whether or not he was going to be secretary of state and we had all of this conversation and he just ameliorated mitt romney is it not you. i think that's what's happening with marco rubio and was outside the palm john, if i could just really quickly go ahead. if i couldn't really quickly, i love my dear morehouse brother of a car, but i'm happy

having been there eight years ago on the day that ted cruz dropped out of his presidential campaign inindiana to donald trump, he gave similar remarks. he didn't endorse donald trump that day and said it took him several months. and yet, what we watched over the course of those months in 2016 and we've even seen take place over the last months here in 2024 is that republicans time and again have gone back to donald trump regardless of his -- of his efforts, you know, donald trump over just the last 36 hours referred to her as bird brain again. this is a man who continually mocked her birth name, had openly promoted the question of whether she could run for president because her parents are immigrants. that is the man who she is urging her to bring her back in the fold, despite her suggesting repeatedly that he was not fit to be president of the united states. and so i think the question here is whether donald trump feels compelled to actually shift the way that he's running his presidential campaign, and so far his advisers say no. and the last thing i want to point out is we are talki

ted cruz is up for re-election. >> yes. >> is there any chance that something might happen in texas? happens when the voters take out ted cruz, when they start removing the obstacles to their choice, the obstacle to their right that was a constitutional right up until last year. so i think, you know, that's how the paradigm changes. and i can share with you, and just tell you, there is internal polling, not so much in texas, but in other states, in which this issue is very vulnerable for incumbents. keep in mind, abortion may play differently in a congressional race, in a statewide race it is toxic as well hell and that's where you see the trepidation with republicans, state senate and governorships, et cetera, because statewide, everybody gets to vote. and congressional, you can have a gerrymander congressional district in which you're okay on that issue, it is not going to bite you the same way. but when you're moving from congress, and you want to run for the u.s. senate, now you got to take into account the other side of the state that isn't as hot red as where you're from, and t

he is the worst nightmare for ted cruz as far as ted cruz holding onto his seat in texas.at in utah they are running two different types of contests, the democrats running a primary that we just saw president biden project it is the winner of that and the republicans running a caucus in utah tonight. that doesn't close up for an hour and so my notes to self, they are completely illegible and i crossed my own wires. sorry. >> i wish people could listen to themselves when they talk about the adam schiff senate campaign. there are three prominent democrat members of the house of representatives who all decide to run for senate for dianne feinstein and that makes it a difficult decision. there is a republican who isn't very prominent but besides he is. so adam schiff and katie porter and barbara lee had a choice in campaigning. there was this really convenient choice which is when you are campaigning that you can run against the republican or run against katie porter or run against barbara lee and adam schiff made the correct strategic choice that every democrat should've made

ted cruz is declared the winner of the republican primary to run for reelection no surprise there.as a wide-fid of flying the candidates running and the democratic congressman they are in texas with 65.6% of the ve. that's important because if you see about 50% of the r-u can turn up to the general election from the primary and not hav wait for the runoff to happen in texas so we continue to watch the senate race in texas and as you said, the graces targeted for the control of the senate come november for all of the results as always i send viewers to c-span.org, the bar at the top of the page for campaign 2024 is where you can find all the >> host: lone star state one of the big halls for super callr tuesday. a population ofver 30 million. 77% of them are white. 13.4% black and the latino population around 40.2%. 24.8 are under 18, 13.4% are over 6 around 18 million of them. there's no pty registration in texas affiliated with the party by voting in its primary or you sign an affidavit of affiliation. no party registration, registration ends 30 days prior to the primary, so that's

senator ted cruz hosting a roundtable to dissipate college athletes getting paid for their image andive me the latest from the roundtable. what's the mood right now? >> reporter: you don't need to make millions from an il, the longhorns first year quarterback appeared in two games last season, $1.2 million more than the starting q.v. . dartmouth's men's basketball team voted to unionize, senator ted cruz says these laws are inconsistent between states. here's what he said moments ago. >> young men and young women have worked think readily hard to develop fantastic skills that in turn can generate in rs economic activity, entitled to enjoy the fruits of their labor, should be entitled to benefits. we need a system, fair competition. >> one power, 5 conference commissioners, some of these top earners in alabama's athletic director, one of the most prominent guests is former alabama football head coach nick sabin. upon his retirement in january he pointed to this changing landscape as the reason for his departure saying i thought we could have a helluva team next year and 70 or 80% of t

if you look at jd vance, mike lee, ted cruz, josh hawley. rick scott. they can cause a lot of trouble for whomever succeeds mitch mcconnell as the republican leader. whether in the majority or the minority. >> trump is facing problems within his own coalition. losing ground with the small donors who carried his first and second campaigns. how bad is this? >> they see what the grift and the graft really look like now. donald trump's financial problems are real. both personally and politically. and that will be a stressor on donald trump. i think what we should be most concerned about is does that create a danger in donald trump the candidate and possibly as president again? is he willing to look to bad actors to some type of financial reprieve? how does it influence his behavior going forward? we have seen this game with donald trump and it is not a good one. he blends ethic rules and conflict rules and that is bad for the nation. >> i would love to get your view on this. because not only did we see the former president having trouble with small donors,

amanda carpenter joins us a former senior staffer to senator jim and ted cruz. first of all simone is here until 2:00 in the morning, she has been on air all day long. we are lucky to have her. i want to start with what the biden campaign cochair said earlier today about nikki haley's voters who are in high demand. >> what we would say to the nikki haley voters is that there is room for you over here, to that third of the republican party that is not sure they want to vote for trump or they do not want to support donald trump, we have a big tent and they are welcome here. >> that is the right message but beyond that, what does the biden campaign have to do? many people especially donors in the nikki haley what will argue biden has become so progressive, he has armed himself with super progressives, if he wants those voters, what does he need to do? >> let me pull my sleeves up for this one. i feel as though perhaps there are nikki haley voters and then there are donors and they are very different. i think a lot of people are grouping those together, not you and

if donald trump had ever attacked ted cruz's wife, ever called her ugly, ever struck out at her in the most personal of terms, that is texas tough right there. you cross that line with ted, you know what? you might as well as crossed the rio grand, my friend. >> on the way to cancun. >> call senator cruz's wife is ugly, or father assassinated jfk, he will not support you. he won't do it. >> at least not at the convention. >> he will vote, and a few months later do a phone bank for donald trump. >> i guess lindsey graham. i mean, that guy, mr. spine. go on the floor. >> enough is enough. i'm out. >> i'm out. and then three red necks and a hound dog chase him around reagan national and he's like, count me in. >> it's not like somebody docks him and puts his cell phone there. >> i think we need a compilation. start with chris christie and mcdonald's episode. >> on mcconnell, i will say the two moments that led to donald trump's comeback post january 6th. one is house speaker mccarthy, soon to be wanting to be speaker mccarthy, heading to mar-a-lago, and posing for a photo. the other is mc

we should also note ted cruz, who trump attacked his wife. yes. now, one of trump's biggest >> supporters, julia, you mentioned rfk junior >> he >> has gotten on some critical battleground state ballot that's the dnc just filed a complaint with the fec. they accuse this pro rfk junior super pac of campaign finance violations. i believe this is a super pac that aired an ad during the super bowl, just using the name kennedy. i mean, to me, that's the big danger for you know, i think most of the polling shows that a lot of these voters would, would come from biden. some may come from trump in the case of rfk, but that it could really hurt biden and some of these key states just because the man's name is kennedy, what should they be doing about that? yeah. look absolutely in states like arizona and georgia, that's going to really put a dent into biden's potential lead there for his support base there, but i will say going to rfk junior events, talking to his supporters. he does pull a really big tent of supporters, biden supporters, but also trump's t

another one we are watching is in texas to see who is going to run against ted cruz. colin aldrich is expected to win in the democratic primary. he could be a threat to ted cruz as colin aldrich has served in the house of representatives. we'll be looking for some trends. what we are seeing in terms of voter turnout, voter enthusiasm. that kind of thing that could give us some clues for the general election. annabelle: i think it is not so much a question of whether nikki haley wants to stay in the race but whether she can afford to. do we know what she is likely to do after super tuesday? >> that is the question we are all watching. that is the question tonight. when does she drop out? if she cannot win -- you have to win at some point you have to win some primaries and pick up some delegates. if donald trump has enough to almost become the nominee, you have to wonder what her path is and why she is staying in the race. that is a question. she said she will stay in through super tuesday. she said she will stay in as long as there is good reason for her to stay in. th
