Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican, warned that "Texans will be hurt" after Democrats flipped a Texas Senate seat and the governor's mansion in the midterm elections, according to The Hill's report on Cruz's statement.
The Hill reported that Cruz issued the warning on Wednesday evening in a lengthy statement shared on social media. In it, the senator characterized the results as a wave that had swept across the state and the country, the outlet said.
The Hill's summary of the report describes the flipped seat only as a Texas Senate seat. It does not specify which chamber the seat belongs to, and it does not name the winning candidates.
The Hill described the statement as a response to the Democratic wins, which it said included the flipped Texas Senate seat and the governor's mansion. The outlet said the midterm results drew the senator's direct criticism on social media.
The summary available for this story did not include the full text of Cruz's statement or any reply from Democratic officials. The report was written by Sarah Davis and is the only source used for this account.
