The investment is a critical sign of the national party’s support for a state whose Democrats have long languished on their own. The DSCC’s inclusion of Texas in its earlier ad reservations and staffing. A later-cycle investment like Thursday’s confirms the party remains committed and is taking Texas seriously — a shift from past cycles.
Texas is home to some of the most expensive media markets in the country, and a cash influx for television ads would support a key component of Allred’s campaign strategy. The campaign has focused on blanketing the state with ads to increase his name recognition, especially outside of his home turf in Dallas. Allred was largely unknown outside of Dallas when he first announced his candidacy, while Cruz is one of the most recognized political figures in the country.
Cruz is still a force to be reckoned with. He and his affiliated political action committees have raised over $40 million with over $14 million in cash on hand. He is one of the top fundraisers for the Texas Republican Party and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which has coordinated with his campaign throughout the cycle. He is running an aggressive campaign, not wanting to be caught off guard like in 2018 by O’Rourke’s unexpectedly meteoric rise.
Democrats have a challenging map to maintain the majority this year. The party has a one-seat majority, but several of its seats are vulnerable. Sen. Jon Tester of Montana is up for reelection in a state that voted for former President Donald Trump by 16 points. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is running in a state that Trump won by 8 points.
