Former professional football player now Texas Rep. Colin Allred launched a 2024 Democratic Senate challenge Wednesday against conservative firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz.
to jump into the Senate race against Cruz, who is running for a third six-year term representing Texas.
"I remember hearing the glass break and the shouts coming closer. I texted my wife, ‘Whatever happens, I love you.’ Then I took off my jacket and got ready to take on anyone who came through that door," Allred says in the video.Allred slammed Cruz for voting against certifying the election results, adding"he cheered on the mob," and then"hid in a supply cabinet when they stormed the Capitol." Allred argued"that’s Ted for you: All hat, no cattle.
"Democrats have once again turned to a far-left radical to run for Senate. Not only does Colin Allred vote with Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time, but his voting record is completely out-of-touch with Texas. Allred wants men to compete in women’s sports, isn’t serious about addressing the crisis at the border, wants to take away law-abiding Texans’ guns, and is soft on punishing murderers.
Cruz, the 2016 GOP presidential nomination runner-up to Trump, survived a tough re-election in 2018 against then-Rep. Beto O’Rourke. However, ousting Cruz in a reliably red state that Trump carried by six points in 2020 and where longtime GOP Gov. Greg Abbott crushed O’Rourke by 11 points last year will be a tall order.
