Sen. Ted Cruz (R) emerged decidedly victorious following Tuesday night’s Texas Senate debate against challenger Rep. Colin Allred (D), devastating the US congressman by tying him directly to Kamala Harris’ humiliating failed policies and radical agenda.

Saying Allred’s prior response reminded him of Kamala’s “Look I was born in a middle-class [family]” response, Cruz exposed the ex-NFL linebacker for his support of transgender sex changes for minors, allowing men to play in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded drag shows for children.

Cruz also corroborated his claims by posting Allred’s letter petitioning the DoD to fund minor sex changes.

Cruz went on to slam the Democrat rep’s flip-flop on his support for Donald Trump’s border wall, which he at one time deemed “racist” and vowed to personally tear down, and then linked Allred to “border czar” Harris’ destruction of the southern border that led to a historic surge of illegal border crossers.
Colin Allred called the border wall racist, and he pledged to tear it down personally.

He voted against the border wall not once, not twice, but three times.

Rebutting claims he was a “threat to Democracy,” Cruz underscored Allred’s recent vote against the SAVE Act which would have prevented illegal aliens from casting votes in US elections.
Ted Cruz's opponent called him a "threat to democracy," but Cruz immediately flipped the script by pointing out that the real threats to democracy are Democrats who voted to allow noncitizens to vote in elections

Cruz also told Texas voters about Allred’s vote to take $300 million out of Medicare to fund healthcare for illegal aliens, reiterating on X, “Colin Allred is Kamala Harris.”
I voted on the Senate Floor to lower the price of insulin. The Democrats blocked it.

Colin Allred also voted in favor of taking $300 million from Medicare and using it to pay for health insurance for illegal aliens.

Cruz further devastated Allred by highlighting his radical support for late-term abortions up to the eighth and ninth months of pregnancy, and brought up his votes against laws that would require parents to consent or be notified if their child receives an abortion.
In Texas, we overwhelmingly agree that late-term abortions in the eighth and ninth month is too extreme.
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) October 16, 2024
Unfortunately, Colin Allred rejects that consensus. He has voted in favor of legalizing abortion all the way up until the eighth and ninth month of pregnancy. He is too… pic.twitter.com/NATY44z1YP
Cruz’s nail in Allred’s coffin came when he connected his policies to the Biden-Harris administration’s runaway inflation and skyrocketing grocery and energy prices.
If you're trying to fill your tank with gas, or if you're a single mom trying to afford braces for your daughter, Democrat inflation is devastating your family.

Colin Allred's economic policies are identical to Kamala Harris's.

Throughout the debate, Cruz repeatedly asked viewers to visit the website AllredFacts.com to learn about the congressman’s real far-left agenda, including his green energy policies to ban fracking and cripple Texas’ oil and natural gas industry.
For Democrats watching their candidate go up in flames, their saving grace was a one-liner when Allred told Cruz “It’s not funny,” when tying him to the Jan. 6 protest.

Allred also made sure to bring up Sen. Cruz’s ill-timed trip to Cancun while Texas endured an extreme cold snap and massive power outages in Feb. 2021.
Overall, things did not go well for Allred. As expected, Cruz used his expert debate and oratory skills to obliterate the Democrat’s Senate bid, successfully tying him to Kamala’s disastrous policies multiple times and surgically cutting down his lies about his radical agenda in real time.
