| http://www.cruz.senate.gov?p=press_release&id=5541 | Joint Statement from Senators Cruz, Johnson, Lankford, Daines, Kennedy, Blackburn, Braun, Senators-Elect Lummis, Marshall, Hagerty, Tuberville | 2021-01-02 | 2021 | 2021-01 | Republican | Senate | TX | Ted Cruz | C001098 | www.cruz.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.), and Senators-Elect Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) issued the following statement in advance of the Electoral College certification process on January 6, 2021: "America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law. "When the voters fairly decide an election, pursuant to the rule of law, the losing candidate should acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of that election. And, if the voters choose to elect a new office-holder, our Nation should have a peaceful transfer of power. "The election of 2020, like the election of 2016, was hard fought and, in many swing states, narrowly decided. The 2020 election, however, featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities. "Voter fraud has posed a persistent challenge in our elections, although its breadth and scope are disputed. By any measure, the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election exceed any in our lifetimes. "And those allegations are not believed just by one individual candidate. Instead, they are widespread. Reuters/Ipsos polling, tragically, shows that 39% of Americans believe the election was rigged.' That belief is held by Republicans (67%), Democrats (17%), and Independents (31%). "Some Members of Congress disagree with that assessment, as do many members of the media. "But, whether or not our elected officials or journalists believe it, that deep distrust of our democratic processes will not magically disappear. It should concern us all. And it poses an ongoing threat to the legitimacy of any subsequent administrations. "Ideally, the courts would have heard evidence and res… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| http://www.cruz.senate.gov?p=press_release&id=5540 | Sen. Cruz Votes Against Senate Attempt to Override President Trump's Veto of NDAA | 2021-01-01 | 2021 | 2021-01 | Republican | Senate | TX | Ted Cruz | C001098 | www.cruz.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today issued the following statement after voting against the Senate's attempt to override President Trump's veto of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA): "As I said last month, the NDAA is one of the most important bills that Congress takes up. Over the summer, the Senate passed a strong, bipartisan NDAA that fulfilled our constitutional responsibility to provide for the national defense - investing in the next generation of technology, equipment, and weaponry, and ensuring our troops received a well-deserved pay raise. "However, I have many concerns with the NDAA conference report we voted on today. As it currently stands, this bill includes a host of partisan Democrat priorities unrelated to national security, and conflicts with the Constitution, like requiring the Department of Defense to rename military bases in a brazenly political attempt to erase our nation's history. Additionally, the bill significantly diminishes our ability to execute military strategies, make expeditious military decisions directly related to our national security interests, and wind down endless wars by interfering with the President's Article II authority. This bill also fails to advance much-needed reforms to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which Big Tech exploits while working hand in glove with the Democrat Party. "Therefore, I opposed the Senate's attempt to override President Trump's veto. I'll continue working with my colleagues to protect our national security." Sen. Cruz voted against the NDAA in December, citing Democrats' partisan games. Read the full statement here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
