Ted Cruz and Colin Allred on Tuesday debated abortion, transgender sports bans, immigration and the economy in their showdown ahead of the Nov. 5 election.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Colin dug into each other's most vulnerable points in a debate Tuesday night, with Allred painting Cruz as a grandstanding partisan who helped strip Texas women of emergency abortion care and Cruz claiming Allred had turned his back on the border crisis and the state's massive oil and gas industry.
Colin Allred’s no-frills approach helped win football games. He’s hoping it will oust Ted Cruz “The stakes of this election are the highest of my lifetime,” Cruz said. “Congressman Allred wants to destroy what we’ve got in Texas.” The 60-minute showdown was the only planned debate ahead of the Nov. 5 election. Cruz’s Senate seat is one that national Republicans are hoping to hold as they try to take control of the upper chamber.
With his Senate seat on the line, Ted Cruz is selling a softer side Allred attempted to paint Cruz as a defender of Texas’s abortion ban, which makes no exception for the victims of rape or incest and he said has delayed necessary medical care for pregnant women. Allred invoked the names of several Texans, including Kate Cox, who he said were forced to flee the state to get emergency abortions. “I trust Texas women to make their own decisions,” Allred said.
