Dems make last-minute push in Texas Senate race
SUMMARY
In a last-minute push, Democrats are intensifying their efforts in Texas to support Rep. Colin Allred's Senate bid against incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz. The Senate Majority PAC and the DSCC are making significant ad investments, with Vice President Kamala Harris also campaigning in the state. Despite Allred's impressive fundraising, surpassing $80 million, some local Democrats criticize the national party for inadequate support, pointing out Texas's challenging electoral landscape and the high costs of campaigning there. Recent polls show Allred competitive, yet many worry the national Democratic investment might be too little too late. Republicans remain confident, dismissing Democratic efforts as futile. The outcome of this race is crucial for Democrats hoping to retain Senate control, with Texas seen as one of their few opportunities for a pickup. If Allred loses narrowly, it could lead to internal party scrutiny over resource allocation.
