Welcome it is verdict with Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson here with you nice to have you guys and we have a lot of news to talk about

The senator is on the road joining us as he is traveling from the last bus stop in Missouri

heading to another very important state center. I appreciate you joining us and for everybody that's an audio quality geek like me

Just know he's on the phone because we're on the bus tour today

Senator how's it going so far?

Well fantastic as you mentioned we're on the bus we're headed down the freeway. We're going from Missouri up to the state of Iowa

After Iowa, we're headed to Ohio and then Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida

Back up to Michigan then to Wisconsin and we're ending in the great state of Texas

You've been out there and you've obviously seen the crowds and if you haven't been following the senator on social media

You should look at the pictures. I think the crowds that you've been seeing are very indicative of what voter turnout could look like in just a few weeks on the

Republican side of things and while that's happening center

We're also noticing a very interesting new trend and it's one I think is concerning for all Americans

That is major Democrats are refusing to debate

conservative candidates you and I were talking about this before the show

You're concerned the Democrats may stop debating Republicans if this continues to mean effective strategy for them

Yeah, that's right. It's a really disturbing development

I've been with two of the Republicans who are facing it in the last few days

I was in Arizona with Carrie Lake who's running for governor

I think she's going to be elected the Republican governor there and her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs refuses to debate

She said there will be no gubernatorial debate in the state of Arizona. She won't do it

Up in Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro the Democrat nominee for governor refuses to debate

Mastriano again
