The race for U.S. Senate in Texas between Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Colin Allred is heating up as they both vie for the seat this fall. Allred, a Congressman representing the 32nd District, emerged victorious in the crowded Democratic primary, while Cruz secured the Republican nomination with hopes of securing a third term.
Recent polls show Cruz leading Allred by varying margins, making it an uphill battle for Allred to unseat the incumbent. Both candidates are working to attract voters from across party lines, with Allred aiming to expand his coalition and Cruz unveiling the Democrats for Cruz Coalition.
In a recent interview, Cruz highlighted his support from Democrats who value his stance on issues such as job creation, energy, law enforcement, and border security. Allred, on the other hand, is rallying his supporters to build a movement of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to defend freedoms, fight for democracy, and secure a strong economy.
The upcoming episode of Eye on Politics will delve into key races this fall, including the Senate race between Cruz and Allred. Additionally, State Representative Miheala Plesa will discuss the importance of protecting invitro fertilization (IVF) and share her personal connection to the issue.
Stay tuned for Eye on Politics airing at 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning on CBS News Texas, both on air and streaming. Follow political reporter Jack Fink on X for more updates on the race.
