Even the GOP’s Leaked Senate Super PAC Memo Says Ted Cruz Is in Trouble
Republican hardliner and Texas Senator Ted Cruz could screw up his party’s chance of flipping the Senate, the GOP super PAC in charge of delivering the chamber in November has warned.
A memo from the Senate Leadership Fund, obtained by Politico, shows the PAC’s own internal polling has the firebrand podcaster Cruz at 48 percent, leading Democratic opponent Colin Allred by a single percentage point.
Cruz’s lead was three points last month, according to the poll. Support for the incumbent senator in Texas also trails support for former president Donald Trump by two points—Trump, with 50 percent support, leads Vice President Kamala Harris by five points in the state.
