Ted Cruz continues to blame close race on outspending by Democratic leadership

Published



Sen. Ted Cruz credited the “relentless” fundraising by the Democratic Party for making his race against Rep. Collin Allred (D-TX) so close.

There is less than a week left until Election Day when Cruz will defend his seat in a closely contested Senate. At the moment, the Democratic Party holds the majority in the chamber and Vice President Kamala Harris rallied support for Allred in Texas this week to further secure their majority and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has helped fundraise. Meanwhile, Cruz hasn’t even received funds from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
