In breaking political news, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and his opponent, U.S. Representative Colin Allred, have agreed to a high-stakes debate before the 2024 Texas Senate election. Scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 15th, the debate will mark a key moment in the tight Senate race. Cruz confirmed the debate via an email announcement, setting the stage for what could be one of the most closely watched contests of the election season.
Cruz, a two-term Republican senator and prominent conservative figure and champion serving Texas, used the announcement to energize his base, positioning Allred, a Democrat, as aligned with what he called “radical-left backers.” In his statement, Cruz emphasized the importance of the upcoming debate, urging Texas voters to recognize the high stakes of the 2024 election.
“Six days after the debate, early voting will begin,” Cruz wrote, stressing the urgency of his campaign and the importance of turning out voters. “We’re fighting with all we’ve got to Keep Texas, Texas, and save our great nation from the left’s disastrous agenda.”
The debate could prove critical, as Cruz acknowledged the race is currently neck and neck. “This race is a statistical dead heat – with one recent poll showing us DOWN by 1 point!” Cruz stated, framing the competition as a battle for Texas and the country’s future. As Election Day draws closer, the email called on “every American patriot” to rally for his campaign.
With the election scheduled for November 5th, the debate is poised to offer Texas voters a chance to see both candidates outline their visions for the future. As early voting looms, the October 15th debate may help shape the outcome of what has become one of the most watched Senate races in the country.
