The 2024 United States Senate election in Texas will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Texas. Two-term incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz is seeking a third term in office. [1] Primary elections took place on March 5, 2024 during Super Tuesday. [2]
U.S. Representative Colin Allred won the Democratic nomination to challenge Cruz and will seek to become the first Democrat to win a Senate race in Texas since 1988.
Background
Texas is generally considered to be a Republican stronghold, having not elected a Democrat to any statewide office since 1994. [3]
Republicans control both U.S. Senate seats, all statewide offices, both houses of the Texas Legislature, and a large majority in Texas' U.S. House congressional delegation.
Cruz was first elected in 2012, defeating Paul Sadler by 15.84 points and was reelected in 2018 by only 2.56 points, narrowly defeating Beto O'Rourke. [4] [5] The close elections in 2018 prompted some analysts to believe that Texas could become a swing state, but in the 2020 and 2022 elections, Republicans improved their margins of victory. [6] [7]
This race is considered to heavily favor Cruz, but some consider the race to have a potential to become competitive. [8] Should Democrats win this election, it would be the first time they won a Texas U.S. Senate race since 1988.
