GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) sent a warning out to his party that state Rep. James Talarico actually has a shot at flipping the Texas Senate seat in November.
“Unfortunately, I do think he has a real chance,” Cruz told Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who guest hosted Sean Hannity’s radio show.
“I think this is a real race. I think it’s going to be close. I think we’re going to win, I think we’re going to keep Texas red, but the polling right now shows this is a 1- or 2-point race.”
Recent polling has shown that the race for the seat is a toss-up between Talarico and state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), with Talarico already raising a record-breaking $30 million in the second quarter of this year, according to his campaign.
Talarico’s campaign contributions are more than triple what Paxton’s campaign raised from April through June.
