There is less than a week left until Election Day when Cruz will defend his seat in a closely contested Senate. At the moment, the Democratic Party holds the majority in the chamber and Vice President Kamala Harris rallied support for Allred in Texas this week to further secure their majority and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has helped fundraise. Meanwhile, Cruz hasn’t even received funds from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

“Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are spending millions unloading on us … they’re going to spend over $100 million from Chuck Schumer and George Soros,” Cruz said on Fox News’s Life Liberty and Levin Saturday. “Every day or two, we get another story. Schumer put another $3 million, Schumer put another $5 million in. We’ve just got money flowing into this.”

McConnell’s term is up in 2026. Republicans plan to pick his successor as leader a week after the election.

“These SOBs are trying to destroy America, and they see me as standing in their way and fighting to stop them. They want to get rid of me,” Cruz said. “The money flooding in against us is massive, so please go to TedCruz.org, contribute $10, $25, $50 bucks, maybe $100, $500, maybe even $1,000 but what I can tell you is $150 million coming in against you, it is relentless. It never, never stops.”

Cruz’s battle to maintain his seat gets closer with every cycle. In 2018, he kept it by 2.6 percentage points against former Rep. Beto O’Rourke. 

When it comes to the senior senator of Texas John Cornyn (R-TX), he won his fourth term with a healthy 9.6 percentage point lead. Cornyn is committed to seeking reelection in 2026.
