Cruz/Allred Race Shifted to “Lean Republican”

The Cook Political Report on Tuesday shifted the political winds in the Texas Senate race from “likely Republican” to “lean Republican.”

Cook’s reporting noted that Colin Allred’s fundraising and ad spending, coupled with Ted Cruz being a dick on defense on abortion and a trip to Cancun in Texas’s time of need in 2021, have put Democrats within three points of Texas Ted.

Cruz and Allred have agreed to a televised debate on October 15, less than a week before early voting begins in Texas.

Cruz won his last reelection bid against former Rep. Beto O’Rourke by 2.6 points.
