U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who is facing off against Allred in his reelection campaign, has worked to tie Allred to Harris’ political record.
U.S. Rep. Colin Allred , D-Dallas, speaks during a coordinated campaign kickoff hosted by the Travis County Democratic Party in Austin on Sunday, July 21, 2024.We’re testing using AI-powered tools to provide an audio version of this story. While this audio recording is machine-generated, the story was written by human journalists., U.S. Rep. Colin Allred was asked how Vice President Kamala Harris ’ presumptive rise to the top of the party’s ticket was affecting his campaign in Texas to unseat U.S.
Allred’s initial endorsement of her campaign was cautious and unclear — his office issued a statement applauding Biden’s legacy as he announced he would withdraw from the race but it made no mention of Harris. His official endorsement came in the form of a clarification his campaign made to reporters after Biden subsequently endorsed Harris and as other Democratic lawmakers put out statements on social media and in news releases.
For his part, Allred — who is vying to be the first Democrat elected to statewide office since 1994 — has spent the majority of his campaign appealing to the middle. He’s touted his vote condemning the Biden administration over its handling of the border, which ruffled feathers with other Democrats. And he’s actively pitched himself as a bipartisan legislator who will reach across the aisle.
Harris’ rise will almost certainly boost turnout for Black voters, the Democratic party’s most reliable base, as well as South Asian voters, who see themselves in the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants. An increase in down-ballot votes from those constituencies would likely help Allred. Angle said there’s nothing to figure out. Allred, he said, needs to stay focused on showing voters his bipartisan work in Congress to address issues like border security and pointing out that Cruz blocked an immigration bill drafted with Republicans this year.
