A comprehensive map of how Texans voted in the 2024 Senate election

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Republican Ted Cruz was reelected to a third term in the U.S. Senate after defeating Congressman Colin Allred in the Nov. 5 election.

Cruz received just shy of 6 million votes statewide, about 1.7 million more than he did in the 2018 election. Allred won a little more than 5 million voters, about 950,000 more than Beto O’Rourke did in 2018.
