The largest newspaper in Texas endorsed Democrat Rep. Colin Allred for U.S. Senate on Monday, dealing another setback to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in an already tight race. The Dallas Morning News criticized Cruz’s lack of support for the bipartisan bills, including the border deal, the CHIPS and Science Act and the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, all of which Allred has supported. “On the items of crucial importance to our country, [Cruz] digs in in the most partisan mode possible, making no room for common ground,” the editorial board wrote. The endorsement also noted that Cruz was one of the first senators to object to certifying the electoral vote on Jan. 6. “His actions were a catalyst for what became one of the worst days in our nation’s history,” the editorial said. The newspaper highlighted Allred’s commitment to bipartisanship and said he “speaks and acts in ways that demonstrate he is willing to treat differences as things we overcome, rather than root in.” Allred has also been endorsed by the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Though the newspaper often endorses Republican candidates, it has never endorsed Cruz.

Ted Cruz is looking into the camera and lying to you. Lying directly to women like Kate Cox, Amanda Zurawski, Lauren Miller and countless others whose lives have been put at risk because of HIS abortion ban.

5. wow haven't seen a single sign for tsf in San Antonio

but as soon I pass the outer loop it's all tsf 😔

[Skittles]

6. honestly I'm not seeing a lot of signs

it's just people I know - heck, someone told me today they've soured on Trump but they're not sure about Kamala because she's "pro-killing babies"

15. What? Nextdoor has them. There's a huge Trump

house behind the BCDP HQ near Zarzamora.
I live inside 1604, but outside 410.
Plenty of Trump signs around here!!

The crappy little duplexes were lined with them yesterday evening. I'm a precinct chair and I go to all the homes.

Also the outer areas had the highest turnout today

10. I hear that, I do

I've lived in Texas a long time and it has always been difficult convincing people in blue states there ARE quite a few progressives down here - yes INDEED.

8. They also endorsed O'Rourke in '18

But here's hoping.

13. Beto Only Lost By 2.5% which is the Best Performance in Decades-Allred is Actually a Better Candidate for Texas

doesn't have the gun control message and is a former NFL Player

[liberalla]

11. It would be so sweet if we could get Allred IN and Cruz OUT!

Come on Texas! Do yourself a solid - experience life without Ted Cruz as one of your Senators. It's an immediate upgrade!

[Stallion]

12. Just About Every Major Newspaper is Endorsing Colin Allred Too

Dallas Morning News
Ft. Worth Star Telegraph
Houston Chronicle
El Paso Times
Austin American Statesman

those are the ones I noticed yesterday

[oasis]

14. That is encouraging. Kamala in, Ted out would

be a dream come true.

[33taw]

16. What is the ht"? It is nice they did this, but I don't think anyone cares which paper endorses any candidate.

But honestly, who reads the paper? Even if it is in online, the impact is minimal.
