Senator Ted Cruz has recently demonstrated a shift in his legislative approach by successfully passing his second major reauthorization bill, along with securing triple digits' worth of other legislative measures into law. This marks a notable departure from his previous reputation as a partisan figure, as he has now engaged in bipartisan dealings to advance significant legislation. Senator Susan Collins commented on Cruz's change in strategy, noting it was amusing yet effective. Analyst Paul Kane highlighted Cruz's newfound capability to navigate traditional political negotiations, which contrasts with his earlier image as a confrontational and divisive figure.
