Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a scathing assessment on Wednesday of Republicans' sweeping midterm election losses, describing the results as a "blue tsunami" and warning that his party had lost touch with voters, particularly in the Lone Star State.

In a lengthy post on X, Cruz acknowledged that Republicans had suffered historic defeats, losing control of both chambers of Congress while Democrats swept statewide races in Texas.

"2026 was not simply a blue wave; it was a blue tsunami. It was an a-- kicking," Cruz wrote.
