Ted Cruz Wins Reelection, Defeats Democratic Challenger Colin Allred
HuffPost
According to projections, Texas voters opted to send Cruz back to the Senate despite his infamous trip to Cancún during a deadly winter storm.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is projected to win reelection to his U.S. Senate seat after fending off a challenge from Democrat Colin Allred.
Cruz presented himself as a bipartisan compromiser despite his past as a partisan warrior, instigator of government shutdowns and election objector.
And Cruz campaigned heavily on the idea that Allred supported allowing boys in girls sports, echoing the anti-transgender message emphasized by former President Donald Trump in his bid for a second White House term.
Most polls in the closing weeks of the campaign showed Cruz running behind Trump, however, and leading Allred, a congressman who represents the Dallas area, by only a slim margin. It’s the second time Cruz has had to fend off a strong Democratic opponent since he first came to the Senate in 2013.
Allred highlighted his background as a former NFL linebacker and portrayed Cruz as an out-of-touch elitist, frequently reminding voters of his 2021 getaway to Cancún while more than 200 Texans froze to death in a freak winter storm.
