Former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred announced on Tuesday he is launching a new run for the Senate next year, this time trying to unseat Republican incumbent John Cornyn, who is already facing a tough primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
In a launch video, Allred claims the Trump administration has been increasing costs for Texans and blaming Cornyn for his role in enabling the scenario. "Texans are working harder than ever, not getting as much time with their kids, missing those special moments, all to be able to afford less," Allred says in a passage of the video.
