Cruz is running a tight race against Allred in Texas as Democrats wish to hold on Senate majority in the 2024 election.
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz's 2024 election campaign was downgraded from likely Republican to lean Republican on Tuesday by the Cook Political Report.Texans have not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, although Cruz's opponent, Democratic candidate Representative Colin Allred, appears to be a worthy challenger. As Cook Political Report noted on Tuesday, Allred outraised Cruz in the second quarter of this year by just shy of $3 million.
Since then, Democrats have been given new firing power against Cruz on the issue of abortion. Texas currently has one of the most restrictive abortion laws following the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Cruz previously celebrated the overturn of Roe as a 'massive victory' and has pushed anti-abortion legislation, including bills that would defund Planned Parenthood.
