File photo dated September 23, 2020 of US Republican Senator from Texas Ted Cruz at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, USA. Texas Senator Ted Cruz flew to Mexico with his family for a holiday amid a winter weather crisis that has left millions in his state without power. Mr Cruz said on Thursday he planned the trip for his daughters, "wanting to be a good dad", but that he had returned because it "didn't feel right".
