Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke on stage in Phoenix with President-elect Donald Trump at AmericaFest on Sunday where he outlined what Republicans are going to do the moment they take power in January.
Cruz said that the American people have given Trump a mandate to implement his agenda, which he said was solidified by the fact that Trump won all seven swing states in addition to Republicans winning control of both the House and Senate.
“This election has given President Donald J. Trump a Republican Senate and a Republican House – a clear mandate to deliver on our promises,” Cruz began.
“One month from today, President Trump will secure the border,” he said. “We are going to bring back jobs. We are going to lower prices. We are going to protect American families. We are going to put criminals in jail. We are going to keep our kids safe. We are going to end foreign wars with victory.”
Cruz added that one of the most consequential things that happened during the election was that he and Trump dominated in their races in Texas, a state that Democrats have been trying to turn blue for decades.
“You and I won a majority of Hispanic votes in the great state of Texas. That is unprecedented,” he said. “That is generational change, and it demonstrates that we are going to protect our nation, we are going to bring our country back, and we are going to make America great again.”
Trump said that Cruz faced a tough race as Democrats spent $250 million to try to take him out.
“Texas was very special, and it will remain very special,” Trump said.
