HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) Calls from groups for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz to resign from office continued Saturday, as a group gathered outside the Mickey Leland Federal Building to protest Texas junior senator.
Indivisible Houston, a group that says it advocates political unity and accountability, organized the demonstration in downtown Houston in an effort to raise awareness about the efforts demanding Cruz and other elected officials to step down from office.
Cruz objected to the electoral certification of Joe Biden s 2020 election victory during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, asking for a national audit of the 2020 Presidential Election results. Cruz s efforts were the result of unproven claims of widespread voter fraud. During the session, rioters stormed the interior of the U.S. Capitol, causing an evacuation of elected officials. The riot left five people dead, including a U.S. Capitol
