Ted Cruz Suffers Blow as Texas' Biggest Newspaper Endorses Opponent [View all]

n another blow to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, Texas' biggest newspaper has endorsed his Democratic opponent, Rep. Colin Allred.

Cruz is facing Allred, a three-term congressman from Dallas, in a closely watched race that could determine which party wins control of the U.S. Senate.

Democrats see Texas as one of the party's best chances to pick up a Senate seat in November, while Cruz has urged Republicans to take Texas seriously as polls suggest the race could be competitive.
