Texas has long been considered a Republican stronghold, but the GOP is not taking the Lone Star State for granted going into 2024.
Sen. Ted Cruz , who nearly lost his seat in 2018 after a strong showing from Democrat Beto O'Rourke, says his campaign is treating his 2024 campaign"deadly serious.""Texas is a battleground, and I'll tell you we are taking this Senate reelections deadly serious. My last reelection, as you noted, six years ago was, at the time, it was the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history.
Texas's population has grown from 26.4 million in 2013 to an estimated 30 million in 2022, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As the population has increased, the percentage of white voters in the state has shrunk. In June, Hispanics and Latinos became the largest racial group in the state. In 2012, Cruz won his Senate seat over Democrat Paul Sadler, 56.5%-40.6%. In the presidential race, Republican Mitt Romney beat then-President Barack Obama 57.1%-41.4%. Four years later, in the 2016 presidential election, Republican Donald Trump only beat Democrat Hillary Clinton 52.2%-43.2%.
With the opening created by changing demographics in Texas, Cruz expects Democrats will look to pour money into statewide races in the state in upcoming cycles. When discussing his 2024 race, Cruz said he believes Democrats will look to make the race competitive with massive fundraising regardless of whoever wins the Democratic nomination.
