With early voting underway and Election Day approaching, Senator Ted Cruz outlines the Senate races he believes will determine control of Congress. From North Carolina and Ohio to Alaska, Texas, Michigan, and Georgia, he breaks down the states he sees as the most competitive, the candidates involved, and the turnout challenges facing Republicans in the final stretch of the campaign.
