It’s happening, folks!
U.S. Senate Democrats are sending millions to Texas in a new round of investments to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced Thursday.
The DSCC will include Texas in a “multimillion dollar” push to fund television ads on behalf of U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, who is challenging Cruz. The investment will also target Sen. Rick Scott in Florida, the party’s other major flip target. The DSCC declined to further specify the dollar amount going to Texas.
“Senate Democrats are expanding the map and going on offense,” DSCC Chair Sen. Gary Peters said in a statement. “All cycle long the DSCC has been preparing to take advantage of Sens. Cruz and Scott’s damaged standings in their states – and now our efforts in Texas and Florida are accelerating."
The DSCC named Texas and Florida as its top flip targets earlier this cycle, including Texas in a $79 million ad reservation and funding staff in the state.
Here is the full press release from the DSCC with more details.
Hot off the heels of recent polls showing Allred leading Cruz in Texas and DMP barely trailing Scott in Florida...it’s been feeling like the momentum is on our side.
Now the National Democrats feeling it too...and placing their bets.
Imagine how sweet it would be to say goodbye to Ted Cruz and Rick Scott on the same day that Donald Trump goes down in defeat (again). If that happens, we’re guaranteed to keep the Senate...and President Kamala Harris will need a Democratic Senate for more reasons that I can even count here.
But don’t just visualize it...help to make it happen!
