Ted Cruz and Colin Allred Clash Over Transgender Rights in Tight Texas Senate Race

As the election nears, Cruz targets transgender issues in ads while Allred seeks to mobilize Black voters.

Ted Cruz's campaign has launched ads focusing on transgender rights, accusing Colin Allred of supporting policies like 'boys in girls' sports' and drag shows on military bases.
Colin Allred, while opposing Cruz's stance, has emphasized unity against prejudice and discrimination, but has faced criticism from some liberals for his response.
Polls indicate that while transgender issues are not a top concern for most voters, Cruz's focus aims to portray Allred as extreme and out of touch with mainstream views.
Allred is intensifying efforts to rally Black voters, campaigning with prominent figures like Vice President Kamala Harris and Beyoncé in Houston.
With Texas historically favoring Republican candidates, Allred's strategy includes appealing to the Democratic base and addressing issues like abortion and voter suppression.
