The Republican senator claimed he traveled to Mexico just to drop his daughters off for their vacation.

According to The Associated Press, a source said the Cruz went with his family for a long-planned trip to Cancun and is expected to return immediately.

Cruz issued a statement on February 18 to address the controversy.

“Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon,” Cruz said, referring to his daughters.


“My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas.

“We want our power back, our water on, and our homes warm.”

Meanwhile hundreds of people in Texas have been without power, and a water crisis was unfolding after storms wreaked havoc on power grid and utilities.
