"Mr President, if we get to November of [2026] and people's 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 1020% at the supermarket, we're going to go into election day, face a bloodbath, Cruz said he told the president, according to Axios. You're going to lose the House, you're going to lose the Senate, you're going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week."
"Cruz also reportedly attacked JD Vance in the recordings, tying the vice-president to conservative media figure Tucker Carlson, whom he has accused of trying to thwart the president's foreign policy agenda. Cruz had a heated interview with Carlson last year that exposed a significant divide on the right on foreign affairs. Tucker created JD. JD is Tucker's protege, and they are one and the same, Cruz reportedly said."
A secret recording captured Senator Ted Cruz telling donors he warned President Trump that sweeping tariffs and rising prices could trigger a bloodbath in the November 2026 midterm elections. The recording captured the president responding, "fuck you, Ted." Cruz warned that 401(k)s could fall 30% and supermarket prices could rise 10–20%, risking loss of the House and Senate and repeated impeachment efforts. A recent poll found 34% approve and 64% disapprove of how the president handled the cost of living. Cruz also criticized Vice‑President JD Vance, linking him to Tucker Carlson and accusing them of ousting national security adviser Mike Waltz over support for bombing Iran.
