Cruz tells GOP to stop the infighting and back Paxton

Sen. Ted Cruz bluntly told fellow Republicans who were attacking Texas AG Ken Paxton to stop the infighting and back the nominee, arguing Paxton won a costly primary despite roughly $200 million in attack ads and that complaints should be saved for the primary. The remarks come as polls show the race essentially tied and as Cornyn criticized Paxton’s fundraising, with Paxton’s multiple scandals hanging over the campaign in a competitive Texas political landscape.

Ted Cruz urged Venezuela to hold free and fair elections by mid-next year, saying democracy must proceed even as the U.S. advances a plan to take control of Venezuela’s oil reserves; he praised the 65-billion-barrel oil deal for potential benefits to the U.S. economy and gas prices, while insisting elections should not be delayed. He reiterated Maduro’s illegitimacy, supported a rapid electoral process, and also touched on Iran and his own potential 2028 presidential run.

Cruz's 82% miscarriage claim about COVID vaccines debunked by experts

Sen. Ted Cruz amplified a debunked claim that the second COVID-19 vaccine dose carries an 82% miscarriage risk for women in the first trimester. Health experts and major medical groups say there is no increased miscarriage risk from vaccination during pregnancy, and the 82% figure stems from a misinterpretation of NEJM data. CDC follow-up analyses show miscarriage rates among vaccinated pregnant people are within the expected range, while organizations like ACOG continue to endorse vaccination during pregnancy. Cruz has faced backlash for repeating this misinformation.
