Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is campaigning for a third term in the conservative Ellis County, Texas, where he finds himself in a tight race against well-funded Democrat Rep. Colin Allred. The race is reminiscent of Cruz's 2018 victory over Beto O'Rourke by a narrow margin.
Both candidates are emphasizing their bipartisan credentials while attacking each other on key issues such as the economy, immigration, and transgender policies. Cruz has criticized Allred for his stance on transgender athletes and the southern border, while Allred has hit back on Cruz's role in appointing judges leading to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
