Who is Ted Cruz?

WHO IS BETO O’ROURKE?

Beto is from El Paso and served on the EP City Council for two terms before running for Congress in 2012, at which time he took on an eight-term incumbent and won.

Beto is making his name known, and not really in the traditional political way. He refuses to use PAC or special interest group money on his campaign, and claims that his campaign is by the people. His way of campaigning is going around to visit all 254 counties in Texas it get a feel of what the people have to say. The video below shows just a little about how Beto feels and wants to change Texas politics.

Who will win it?

If you don’t know by now, this midterm for Texas is one for the books. Democratic nominee Beto O’Rourke will face off against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz. But who will win? To find out a possibility, I asked 25 people who they think will win this race and asked them to tell me why they thought it was so important. The results are as follows:

• Cruz- 16 votes
• Beto- 9 votes
• Most frequent ‘importance’ answer: Many people want Beto to win, but they thought that Cruz will actually win because traditionally Texas is red. They thought that this election is so important because Democrats are speaking up and it seems as if they are becoming more involved.

As most of us know, the midterm elections take place on November 6th. But many of us don’t understand just how important these midterm elections are. These results will impact the rest of Trump’s presidency. If the Democrats are able to retake congress, they are able to severely limit the amount of power that President Trump has which puts a damper on many of the plans he tries to push forward. If the Republicans maintain control, it means that Trump will be able to push forward without much obstruction. If the Democrats are only able to take the House, they will still be able to block many of Trumps attempts to push plans forward.
