The Texas Debate is a chance for underdog Colin Allred to make a splash against Sen. Ted Cruz

SUMMARY: Tonight marks the pivotal debate between Senator Ted Cruz and Congressman Colin Allred in Dallas, hosted by WFAA. Key topics include abortion and border security, but unexpected moments could sway the audience. Political experts suggest that debates usually have limited impact unless something dramatic occurs. Cruz leads Allred by four percentage points according to a recent poll, with 96% of voters firmly decided. For Allred, this debate is an essential opportunity to challenge Cruz’s lead. Both candidates will continue campaigning across Texas after the debate, hoping to influence undecided voters. A recap will follow tonight.

A new UH Hobby School of Public Affairs poll puts Cruz four points ahead of Allred ahead of Tuesday night’s debate.
