Ted Cruz

And I think he will almost certainly lose his next election.

I don't think he can win a Democrat primary.

And I think there's a real chance he's on the ballot in 2028.

I think there's a real chance Chuck Schumer doesn't even run for reelection.

Well, the vote on the Senate floor to take up the Save America Act was 51 to 47.

So 51 Republicans voted to take it up.

The only no vote was Lisa Murkowski out of Alaska.

And then Tom Tillis from North Carolina, who is retiring, did not vote.

So he was not a no vote, but he didn't vote.

Other than that, every Republican voted to take it up, and we're now in the midst of the battle.

Now, we can anticipate the Democrats are a hard no.

And so we're taking the case to the American people and trying to build support for it.

And so I went to the Senate floor to lay out the case for why the Save America Act is so critical and why the opposition for the Democrats is so ridiculous.

And so here's what I had to say on the floor of the Senate this week.

Mr. President, later this year, American citizens across the country will exercise one of their most valuable and sacred rights, the right to vote, a right that has been hard-earned and fought for from the founding generation of our republic to today.

And how is the right to self-government, the right to vote, secured?

It was secured by American colonists who rejected the royal edict and hurdled tea into Boston Harbor, declaring no taxation without representation.

It was secured by ordinary men who seized their muskets and fired the shot heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.

It was secured by Continental troops

who marched to the fields of Saratoga and the coastline of Yorktown, repeating those immortal words of Patrick Henry, give me liberty or give me death.
