Cruz Faces Funding Gap in Tight Senate Race

Senator Ted Cruz is facing a tight race for his Senate seat against Democratic challenger Colin Allred, leading him to make desperate pleas for campaign donations on Fox News, emphasizing being outspent by $100 million. During their recent debate, Cruz and Allred engaged in a substantive discussion on key issues such as abortion, immigration, and the economy, with Allred highlighting Cruz's 2021 vacation during a Texas storm. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump reiterated his cognitive abilities and questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's competence, suggesting she should take a cognitive test. Harris's recent media campaign, designed to reshape her narrative ahead of the election, has been criticized as ineffective, with analysts noting it failed to sway undecided voters. With just weeks until Election Day, media outlets warn Harris of potential losses as polls show Trump performing strongly in swing states, even as Democrats rally to maintain their position.
