Colin Allred and Ted Cruz clash over abortion rights and transgender sports participation in a pivotal race for Senate control.

The Texas Senate race between Ted Cruz and Colin Allred is critical for Democrats hoping to retain control of the U.S. Senate.
Cruz focuses campaign ads on transgender athletes in girls' sports, while Allred highlights the impact of Texas' strict abortion laws on women's health.
During their debate, Allred criticized Cruz's involvement in the events of January 6, emphasizing Cruz's actions to challenge the 2020 election results.
