George W. Bush praises Colin Allred in Texas Senate race against Ted Cruz

Former President Bill Clinton shared that George W. Bush thinks Rep. Colin Allred, a Democrat challenging Senator Ted Cruz, is "great." Allred, who became Bush's congressman in 2018, is praised for his transition from professional football to law. Allred is currently running against Cruz, who has held his Senate seat since 2013. Recent polls show Allred trailing Cruz by a few points, indicating a competitive race in Texas, a traditionally Republican state. Bush has not publicly commented on the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, despite calls from former associates to take a stance. Over 200 of his former staffers have endorsed Harris.
