Allred, Cruz Face Off in Texas Senate Debate

Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R) and Texas Rep. Colin Allred (D) have engaged in a lengthy political rivalry that culminated in this week's debate for the senate. For months, both have traded verbal jabs, criticizing each other's political records and ability to serve the people in Texas. In this week's senate debate, Senator Cruz and Rep. Allred met face-to-face to verbally spar over abortion, the border, and other pressing issues.

During the debate, Senator Cruz questioned Rep. Allred's record as a congressman, adding that his record is something that the senatorial hopeful wants to "run away from" when speaking to Texans.

"He desperately wants to hide from the fact that as a congressman he voted to strike down Texas' parental notification law, he voted to strike down Texas' parental consent law, he voted to legalize late-term abortions, including the 8th and 9th month," Senator Cruz warned.

Countering the Texas senator, Rep. Allred called Senator Cruz "a threat to democracy," citing that Senator Cruz objected to certifying the election in Arizona in 2020. Senator Cruz however believes that Rep. Allred is in fact the "threat" to democracy, highlighting that the Democratic congressman agrees with eliminating the filibuster, striking down voter integrity laws in the United States, granting voting rights to illegal immigrants, packing the Supreme Court, and other stances that Senator Cruz believes would "destroy Texas."

The incumbent senator's challenger instead suggested that Texas needs a new senator because Senator Cruz is an embarrassment to Texans.

Calling himself "the most bipartisan Texan in Congress," Rep. Allred went on to express that Senator Cruz is "only focused on himself." "I'm the exact opposite of Senator Cruz, who is the most extreme senator in the United States Senate. Maybe the most extreme in the last 30 years," the Texas Democrat said.

"We don't have to be embarrassed by our senator."
