'The hard left is showing up no matter what!' Ted Cruz reveals doubt GOP will show up to vote for Donald Trump as he predicts potential 'Democratic sweep'

Ted Cruz said Sunday the 2020 election has the most wide variety of potential outcomes he's ever seen as he cast doubt that Republicans will show up in the same capacity as Democrats.

'There's an incredible volatility in politics right now. The delta between possible outcomes is as wide as I've ever seen it,' the Texas senator told NBC's 'Meet the Press' Sunday morning.

Cruz also explained the November election will come down to turnout, meaning there are not a lot of undecided voters and it will be decided by which party can get the most voters to cast ballots.

'I think this is a turnout election,' the Republican Trump ally told NBC host Chuck Todd. 'I think the hard left is showing up no matter what. They hate the president. And the big open question is: Does everybody else show up? I hope that they do.'

Texas Senator Ted Cruz admitted Sunday morning that there could be a 'Democratic sweep' in November as he said 'the hard left is showing up no matter what'

Although Cruz says he thinks there could be a 'Democratic sweep,' he also exhibited a more realistic approach than many other politicians by weighing both outcomes.

'I think there's a scenario – I believe President Trump can win, in fact I believe he could have a significant victory and Republicans can take both Houses of Congress,' Cruz said of his own Party. 'But I also think it is possible we see a Democratic sweep where they win everything and it's a victory of Watergate proportions.'

He added: 'I don't recall an election in my life with the spread – the delta – between those two possible outcomes this close to an election being that wide.'

'If people are optimistic and hopeful about the future – if they're going back to work – that would be a factor in a very good election for Republicans. If they're pessimistic and depressed and hopeless – that will help the Democrats,' Cruz continued.

The HS2 money pit: Ministers are told first stage of high-speed rail line may cost another £800m... six months after a budget increase saw total costs soar by £20.6bn to £43billion

Ministers have been told that Phase One of controversial rail line HS2 could cost £800million more than planned. It comes just six months after a budget increase saw total predicted costs for the first stage of the high-speed line soar by £20.6billion to £43billion. In a written statement to Parliament, HS2 Minister Andrew Stephenson said half of this figure is due to preparation of the route for construction involving 'more significant challenges than anticipated'. This includes the need to remove more asbestos than expected. Another 'significant cost pressure' worth £400 million has also been identified during the development of designs for Euston station.

Tests may spare school bubbles from isolating: Children could avoid disruption to lessons by being screened for Covid more often under new proposal

Ministers will explore whether children could take more Covid tests instead of self-isolating to minimise disruption to their schooling. Sajid Javid said he was seeking ‘fresh advice’ on the current policy, which sees up to 250,000 pupils miss school every day. He revealed he would discuss the subject with Education Secretary Gavin Williamson after MPs expressed concerns about children being kept at home for ten days – even after a negative PCR test – because a member of their classroom bubble has been infected. It came as the Children’s Commissioner told how pupils had experienced ‘real trauma’ during successive lockdowns. Sajid Javid said he was seeking ‘fresh advice’ on the current policy where children self-isolate, which sees up to 250,000 pupils miss school every day Dame Rachel de Souza described the class bubble system as ‘very very restrictive’, adding: ‘I think everybody would like it if we could get back to normal, as soon as possible.’ Former health minister Steve Brine tol...
