Harris County Republicans gather at a debate watch party in Houston to watch Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Beto O’Rourke spar over immigration, other issues
When it comes to immigration, we know where Sen. Ted Cruz and Congressman Beto O’Rourke stand. Their constituents are another story.
At the Republican Party headquarters in Houston, a crowd shouts, laughs and applauds as they watch the final debate between the candidates.
