Later that day, Cruz discussed his visit to a rare earth magnet manufacturing facility operated by MP Materials in Texas. He emphasized the strategic importance of restoring domestic supply chains for rare earth elements.

On July 15, 2025, Cruz announced the enactment of federal school choice legislation he authored. He described its significance by stating, “I wrote the most far-reaching federal school choice legislation to ever be enacted into law. It’s the civil rights victory of the 21st century.”
