(Radio Iowa) – Texas Senator Ted Cruz says Iowa is a battleground for the entire country — and voters here may decide whether Republicans retain control of the U.S. House and Senate in 2027. Cruz spoke Friday night at a fundraiser for Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird.
Cruz said “These midterm elections are the most consequential midterm elections I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.” Republicans currently hold all the seats in Iowa’s congressional delegation, but in 2018 — in the middle of President Trump’s first term — Democrats won three of the four U.S. House seats in Iowa. Cruz says Democrats are targeting those three races again, along with Iowa’s U.S. Senate race.
Cruz says the Republican-led congress has a list of historic victories, on tax cuts and immigration, that would be undone if Democrats win majority of control of congress.
Cruz won the 2016 Iowa Republican Party’s Caucuses, finishing ahead of Trump and Marco Rubio, who was a Florida senator at the time.
