Quick Glance: U.S. Rep. Colin Allred Emerges Victorious in Democratic Senate Primary
- U.S. Representative Colin Allred from Dallas declared his triumph in the Texas Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday evening. State Senator Roland Gutierrez from San Antonio, his nearest rival in the race, conceded.
- Having 62% of polling stations reporting by 10:56 p.m., Allred secured 58.92% of the votes. Gutierrez obtained 17.06%. By sidestepping a potential May runoff, Allred can now focus solely on a November showdown against the incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
- Throughout the primary, Allred portrayed himself as a general-election candidate, directing his criticism towards Cruz and paying little attention to the other Democrats competing for the nomination. His success indicates that Texas Democrats responded positively to his more moderate approach.
- Texas has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in over three decades, but the party remains optimistic following Cruz's narrow victory over former U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke in 2018. Allred's win demonstrates that Texas Democrats favored his centrist strategy.
Ted Cruz Stung by New Texas Poll: A survey from UTT shows the Republican and his expected Democratic Texas Senate seat challenger tied on 41 percent.

- "Do these people actually think they're getting any of this money?
- " Jones stated.
- Lawyers told Insider that the damages were astounding for a slander case, with Barhoma calling the payout a "jaw-dropping" number.
- "Compensatory damages are looking to make a plaintiff whole," Barhoma said, adding that while Jones will almost certainly appeal the verdict, an appellate court will be less inclined to interfere with compensatory damages awarded by a jury.
- Furthermore, unlike punitive penalties, compensatory damages are not capped in Connecticut, according to some lawyers.
