Texas Senator Ted Cruz said on Thursday that he will be bringing an elected Democrat to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address.
While appearing on Fox Business Network's Varney & Company, Cruz said that he would be bringing Presidio County Sheriff Danny C. Dominguez to Biden's speech on Thursday.
"He is the sheriff of Presidio County, Texas, that is right along the Rio Grande border, and Sheriff Dominguez is a Democrat," Cruz said. "He's an elected Democrat. He's been an elected Democrat for 28 years."
Cruz went on to explain that he was endorsed by Dominguez for his reelection campaign in 2024 and said, "The reason is a number of things, but right at the heart of it is, number one, standing with law enforcement and number two, securing the border."
"Today's Democrat party in Washington refuses to do either one of those," Cruz added.
Newsweek reached out to the Presidio County Sheriff's office via email for comment.
