Former Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) announced his 2024 Senate candidacy, challenging incumbent Republican John Cornyn. Allred, a former NFL player, aims to capitalize on rising costs, blaming Trump and the GOP. The GOP primary is contested, with Attorney General Ken Paxton challenging Cornyn and both seeking Trump's endorsement. National Republicans fear Paxton's nomination could jeopardize the seat, while Democrats see a more favorable environment in 2024 despite Texas's Republican lean.
