Sen. Ted Cruz was dining near the Capitol on the evening of Dec. 8, 2020, when he received an urgent call from President Donald Trump. A lawsuit had just been filed at the Supreme Court designed to overturn the election Trump had lost, and the president wanted help from the Texas Republican.
Would you be willing to argue the case? Trump asked Cruz, as the senator later recalled it.
Sure, Id be happy to if the court granted a hearing, Cruz said he responded.
The call was just one step in a collaboration that for two months turned the once-bitter political enemies into close allies in the effort to keep Trump in the White House based on the presidents false claims about a stolen election. By Cruzs own account, he was leading the charge to prevent the certification of Joe Biden as president.
