Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) said on Tuesday he is "absolutely" concerned about what could be high Democratic turnout in Texas for the midterm elections in November.
"The extreme left is energized and angry, and it makes it all the important for conservatives to show up in November," Cruz told CNN's Manu Raju.
Cruz said in a separate interview on Monday with talk show host Hugh Hewitt that the Lone Star State could potentially turn blue in November if conservatives stay home on election day.
"We could end up with a Speaker Pelosi and a Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Texas, if conservatives stay home, if we rest on our laurels, we could see Texas turn blue," the senator said.
