Six years after Beto O’Rourke nearly toppled Ted Cruz, Democrats outside Texas are expressing confidence in Allred’s 2024 challenge.
WASHINGTON — With more than four months left before Election Day 2018, Democrat Beto O’Rourke had campaigned in all of Texas ’ 254 counties in his bid to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz . It was a novel strategy central to breaking through in a Republican -controlled state that national Democrats had largely written off. Six years later, U.S. Rep. Colin Allred is taking a much more traditional approach to campaigning as he tries to do what O’Rourke couldn’t: topple Cruz.
That’s what I would expect: The DSCC first would have to protect their incumbents and Texas is a giant investment statewide for them.” Zack Malitz, who was the field director of O’Rourke’s 2018 campaign, said the campaign’s aggressive investments in recruiting a large volunteer network could help future Democratic candidates.
