Senator Ted Cruz is gaining support for his re-election campaign from an unexpected source – a Houston Democrat. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has endorsed Cruz, citing his policies on crime and immigration as the reasons for her support.
This endorsement comes as Cruz is facing a tough challenge from Democratic candidate Colin Allred in the upcoming election. Ogg’s decision to support Cruz has raised some eyebrows, as she has been known to break ranks with her own party on various issues, including bail reform and pretrial release.
While Ogg’s endorsement may help Cruz appeal to moderate Democrats, it remains to be seen how much of an impact it will have on the election. Ogg, who recently lost her primary race, has been vocal about her opposition to policies that she believes unfairly target low-income individuals and immigrants who have committed crimes.
Overall, Cruz is using Ogg’s endorsement as a way to showcase his bipartisan credentials and attract support from a wider range of voters. As the election draws nearer, it will be interesting to see how this endorsement plays out and whether it will sway any undecided voters in Cruz’s favor.
