Steve Daines, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said this summer. “That's exactly the kind of candidate you want to have for senator running for reelection.”Still, Allred has made considerable progress since earlier in the cycle. He was often polling double digits behind Cruz around the primaries last spring.
