Texas Senator appears to doze off during Biden’s address

Senator Ted Cruz appeared to be fighting back sleep on Wednesday night as President Joe Biden gave his first formal address to Congress.

Report informs that the moment took place more than an hour into Biden's speech when the camera cut to the Texas senator as the president spoke about his plans for immigration reform.

Biden said: "If you actually want to solve a problem, I've sent a bill. Take a close look at it."

It was at this point that the camera focused on Cruz, whose eyes shut for a brief moment before suddenly snapping open.

Throughout Biden's speech, the live feed occasionally panned to socially distanced members sitting around the chamber. Toward the end of the address, during some remarks about immigration, the camera caught a glimpse of Cruz with his eyes shut. Cruz almost immediately opened his eyes for a few seconds before appearing to doze off again.
