Verdict with Ted Cruz · MASSIVE Victory for Student-Athletes & Fans as 3/4 of the Senate Votes for the Protect College Sports Act · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

To defeat a filibuster, we needed sixty. voice-verified

And I said from the beginning, I don't want just sixty. voice-verified

I want a big bipartisan vote that is overwhelming support. voice-verified

We got seventy-four, and actually we're even stronger than that because there were two Democrats who were absent today, Chris Coons and Jackie Rosen, and they're both co sponsors of the bill. voice-verified

So so the they're supporters of the bill. voice-verified

They both and and so we're at seventy-six. voice-verified

We have more than three quarters. voice-verified

of the Senate in support of this bill. voice-verified

We also got 25, and with the two of them that will be 27 Democrats. voice-verified

So we got more than half of the Democrat caucus, despite the fact that multiple major interest groups on the left are lobbying against it. voice-verified

You've got the trial lawyers lobbying against it, you've got the AFL CIO lobbying against it, the NAACP is lobbying against it. voice-verified

So it is remarkable. voice-verified

Now voice-verified

Why did we get such a big vote? voice-verified

Because we've got number one, it's a really strong piece of legislation, but number two, we built an amazingly strong coalition behind this this bill. voice-verified

And it's five party. voice-verified

Well, Maria Cantwell is the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee. voice-verified

I'm the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. voice-verified

So we're the top two Senators on the committee and the two of us did this together. voice-verified

And I will say negotiating it was painstaking. voice-verified
