1:26Now PlayingTexas Sen. Ted Cruz took his family on vacation to Cancun, Mexico, this week as his home state was paralyzed by a deadly winter storm, drawing criticism from leaders in both parties and potentially damaging his political ambitions.
The Republican senator said Thursday that he returned to Texas after accompanying his family to Mexico a day earlier only after his daughters asked to go on a trip with friends, given that school was canceled for the week.
