Ted Cruz the former. U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, in May announced his 2024 bid for U.S. Senate. Allred is hoping to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz
“We can't afford six more years of Ted Cruz, of somebody who I think has pitted us against each other and who I think has not really done the job that we elected him to do,” Allred said during a recent sit-down interview at Spectrum News’ Washington bureau. Instead of running for reelection, Allred is vying for higher office. This, despite the fact it has been nearly 30 years since a Democrat won statewide in Texas.
“We're the number one trade state in the country. Mexico is our number one trading partner, Canada's number two trading partner. That would not have happened without folks like me pushing forward,” Allred said. On the issue of gun safety, Allred said he believes Texas culture is about responsibility and safely possessing firearms.
Cruz has been especially vocal in criticizing the Biden administration over its handling of the Southern border.
