Could Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) be on the verge of losing his Senate seat in November? Such a question might seem absurd considering how conservative the Lone Star State has historically been when it comes to the people it sends to the upper chamber of Congress, but a top adviser to former president Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign is suggesting that Cruz is in trouble and could be beaten by his Democratic opponent, Rep. Colin Allred.
Chris LaCivita, a senior campaign adviser to Trump, shared his concerns on social media for the entire internet to pick over, posting on Twitter/X, “What the hell is wrong with the Senate race in Texas ? I think i know …and i think i know his name ….time to get some real professionals in to save @tedcruz.”
According to HuffPost, LaCivita’s tweet suggests growing GOP concern over Cruz’s flagging campaign, with a recent poll showing a four-point lead for Cruz 47%-43%, well within the poll’s 3.5% margin of error.
Keep in mind that Trump himself has yet to endorse Cruz in his race against Allred, which seems odd considering that the Texas Republican has staunchly defended Donald no matter what disgusting things he says or does.
LaCivita’s tweet led to plenty of social media discussion and mockery.
If Cruz does go down to defeat in November, it’s likely to be part of a larger blue wave that would see Democrats controlling the White House and both houses of Congress.
