Original polling showed Cruz as a clear favorite, but polls closer to the election showed a closer race. Cruz ultimately outperformed polling and expectations and won re-election by nine points, improving on his 2018 margin by six points. [6][7] Had he been elected, Allred would have been the first Democrat to win a Senate race in Texas since 1988 and the first Democrat to win a statewide election in Texas since 1994, as well as the first Black senator to represent Texas.[6] Despite his loss, Allred outperformed Vice President Kamala Harris who lost the concurrent presidential election in Texas to Republican former president Donald Trump by fourteen points.

Background

edit

Texas is generally considered to be a Republican stronghold, having not elected a Democrat to any statewide office since 1994.[8] Republicans control both U.S. Senate seats, all statewide offices, both houses of the Texas Legislature, and a large majority in Texas's U.S. House congressional delegation. Cruz was first elected in 2012, defeating Paul Sadler by 15.84 points and was reelected in 2018 by only 2.56 points, narrowly defeating Beto O'Rourke.[9][10] The close elections in 2018 prompted many electoral analysts to speculate that Texas could become a swing state, but in the 2020 and 2022 elections, Republicans increased their margins of victory.[11][12] This race is considered to generally favor Cruz, but some consider the race to have the potential to become competitive.[13]
