With Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz likely out, presidential race lacks Texas spice | gromerjeffers
What happened to all the Texans?The GOP presidential race could have featured Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott. They are not expected to mount campaigns for the White House.“People like Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz look at the field that’s being dominated by Trump and realize that there’s no viable lane.”
In 2018, Cruz beat O’Rourke by 2.6 percentage points. This time, he’ll face the winner of the Democratic primary that features Rep. Colin Allred of Dallas and state Sen. Roland Gutierrez of San Antonio. This contest is expected to be Texas’ marquee matchup.Advertisement In his third term, Abbott has become a national figure, mostly because of his move to bus migrants to cities outside of Texas, including Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. But he’s never gained traction in the GOP presidential field, finishing well off the pace in most GOP straw polls and surveys.
