Ted Cruz Gets Bad News on Super Tuesday: Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, who has tied with Cruz in some polls, will face the Texas senator in November's election.
newsweek.com/ted-cruz-texas-senate-colin-allred-1876362
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.
