“It will make all the difference in the world if Colin is elected to the Senate,” Sanders said in an interview ahead of an afternoon rally at Texas State University. “He'll give us a chance to control the Senate and begin to pass legislation that benefits working people. So I very much hope that he wins.”
The progressive politicians were not joined by Allred or other Democrats running in battleground districts. Sanders, asked why he did not team up with Allred and other candidates on his trip, said he did not want to"get involved in internal Texas politics.
In his Senate bid, Allred has courted moderate and independent voters, adopting a platform that includes protecting oil and gas jobs and taking a more incremental approach to expanding health care access than Sanders advocates through his push for a single-payer system. Allred has also run ads that portray him as “tough” on the border and emphasize his willingness to work across the aisle — a clear contrast to Sanders’ unabashed progressivism.
