Meanwhile, Andrew Yang and Sen. Ted Cruz are challenging each other to a game of basketball

Democratic presidential hopeful Andrew Yang and Republican Sen. Ted Cruz challenged each other ahead of yesterday's debate to a basketball match.

It all started when Cruz took a dig at Yang's polling numbers.

Sorry. You gotta poll at 5% or more to play on my court. https://twitter.com/WardDPatrick/status/1171904300458676225 …

Yang countered Cruz with a poll from The Hill that asked voters "Who would be the Democratic party's 2020 presidential nominee?" It showed Yang at 5%.

"Ted I would be delighted to beat you in basketball," Yang tweeted.

Cruz accepted the challenge, telling Yang to "bring it."

"Bring it. 4 on 4, you plus three of your paid staffers vs me and three of my paid staffers (no outside ringers). Say, this Friday afternoon in Houston? The loser gives $5k to the (non-political) charity of the winner’s choice? Game?" the Texas senator tweeted.

The two politicians went back-and-forth from there. It's unclear if the two will actually hold a match.

Hmm. You’re taller than I am. From the video, you’re probably a better shot. And, I’ve seen you dunking (on an 8-foot rim). Altogether, pretty strong. So....... https://twitter.com/andrewyang/status/1172107317636149249 …
