The long-awaited showdown between incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Colin Allred is officially in the books.
The two engaged in a heated debate over hot-button issues like immigration and abortion, with each striving to gain an edge in the race for Texas. This debate, aptly named “The Texas Debate,” may be the only thing we’ll see between these candidates.
But who came out on top? Let’s take a look at what people are saying on X.
Ted Cruz lost the debate to Colin Allred by a landslide. It wasn’t even close. That was embarrassing for Cruz, even for him. Miserable. Vote Allred.

Hello 911. I would like to report a homicide.
Colin Allred just defeated Ted Cruz in the Senate debate in Texas when asked about J6.

Q: Why won’t you answer whether you support exceptions for rape and incest?
Ted Cruz: *laughing nervously* Why do you keep asking me that? pic.twitter.com/Ox80eGAtsq

Ted Cruz REFUSES to answer whether or not he supports abortion exceptions for rape or incest.
But we know the truth: Ted Cruz led the fight to ban abortion, calling the overturning of Roe v Wade a “huge victory.”
