- Allred is the first major Democrat in the race, while Beto O’Rourke, Joaquin Castro and James Talarico have expressed interest and Terry Virts and Mike Swanson are already seeking the nomination.
- Democrats are partly hoping for a possible matchup against embattled Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is challenging Cornyn in the Republican primary.
- A May Texas Southern University poll gave Allred a favorable rating from 45% of respondents, the highest share among six potential candidates, while Paxton led a head-to-head matchup by two points.
- Allred lost to Cruz by 8.5 points in 2024 despite raising more money during the campaign and receiving a higher vote share than Kamala Harris.
