that he'll run for U.S. Senate next year against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz.
Allred, who joined Congress after beating longtime U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions in 2018, was elected to his third two-year term in the U.S. House in 2022. He has often been a critic of the state's junior senator, most recently on Monday while discussing the CHIPS bill, which is $52 billion earmarked for companies to boost domestic production of computer chips. He ducked a question about the Senate race Monday morning, but managed to get in a comment about Ted Cruz.
There has been speculation that he could make a run for U.S. Senate for several months and said in March 2023 he thinks Texas could do better than Ted Cruz.
