Ted Cruz begs and pleads for donations [View all]

as Dem challenger’s campaign heats up

History is repeating itself with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Now, as he seeks a third term, Cruz is sounding the alarm about another Democratic challenger: Colin Allred. A University of Texas, Tyler poll released in early March found Texas' 2024 U.S. Senate race to be a dead heat, with Cruz and Allred tied at 41 percent.

During a Wednesday, April 3 appearance on Sean Hannity's show, Cruz begged and pleaded for donations and warned Fox News viewers that Republicans shouldn't take Allred's campaign lightly.

Cruz argued, "The Democrats are coming after me. They are gonna spend more than $100 million this year. George Soros is already spending millions of dollars in the state of Texas…. My opponent, a liberal Democrat named Colin Allred, is outraising Beto O’Rourke, my last opponent, 3-to-1. They are flooding millions of dollars into Texas, and the reason is simple. You remember my last reelect, it was a three-point race. I won by 2.6 percent."
