Cruz still has more cash than his challenger. But the Democratic congressman outraised him in the second quarter.
Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz still holds a financial advantage over his Democratic challenger, Representative Colin Allred, in his campaign for reelection — but the Dallas-area Congressman has pulled impressive fundraising, earning more donations than Cruz every quarter since entering the race.Democrats view the Senate race in Texas as one of few opportunities to flip a GOP-held seat in November, though Cruz is still viewed as the favorite.
John Tester is looking increasingly out of reach for Democrats to hold, according to a string of recent strong GOP state polls.If Republicans flip Montana, Democrats would need to flip either Cruz's seat in Texas or Florida, where Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is challenging Republican Rick Scott, for an even split in the Senate. In that scenario, the vice president would serve as a tiebreaker. But significant investment in Texas comes with a hefty price tag, Blank said.
