Texas Rep. Colin Allred, the Democratic Senate nominee, swung hard against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz during a debate on Monday in hopes of closing the two-term incumbent's small but stubborn lead in the polls.
While Allred accused Cruz of hypocrisy over Jan. 6 and failing to address the material hardships faced by everyday Texans, Cruz, a slick and experienced debater who appeared to find his match in Allred, called the Democratic lawmaker and former NFL linebacker a radical who would just be another rubber stamp for a potential President Kamala Harris.
