Cruz's Supreme Court victory a win for the small-town challengers to career politicians, senator says
Fox News
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz celebrated his Supreme Court win Monday, telling Fox News it is a victory for the insurgent outsider seeking to defeat a federal career politician.
For his 2018 reelection bid versus then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, Cruz lent his campaign $260,000, while FEC law only allowed campaigns to repay $250,000 maximum. The ensuing litigation hinged on the idea such a law "inhibit[ed] candidates from making such loans in the first place," as Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote in the majority opinion.
Cruz' race against the El Paso Democrat was the priciest Senate contest ever, Roberts wrote.
