Republican Senator Cruz calls his party's election defeat a "blue tsunami"

Cruz made evaluations about the midterm elections in the USA from the social media platform account of US-based company X.

Pointing out that the midterm elections were a historic defeat for the Republicans, Cruz said, "2026 was not just a blue wave, it was a complete blue tsunami. It was a complete defeat." he said.

Cruz stated that the Republicans lost the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and emphasized that the election result was a rejection at the level of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of former US President Richard Nixon.

Noting that his party also suffered defeat in states where Republicans are traditionally strong, such as Kansas, Iowa, South Carolina and North Carolina, Cruz said, "Texas was painted blue. It is not easy to say this. But Texas, at least today, was painted blue. As I sit here today, I am the only remaining statewide elected Republican in Texas. I never thought I would say this." made his assessment.

Referring to exit polls in Kansas, Cruz stated that 30.6 percent of voters see the cost of living, energy and food prices as the most important problems.

Cruz also noted that 18.5 percent of voters were disturbed by corruption and 10.1 percent were disturbed by the cost of the Iran war, and 7.9 percent of those surveyed thought "the candidates were terrible."

Cruz stated that Republicans have lost support among workers, young people, rural areas and Hispanic voters, and said that from now on, he will work with Democrats when they are willing to be reasonable and stand behind policies that directly benefit voters.
