- The Houston Chronicle has endorsed Democrat Beto O’Rourke for US Senate in Texas over the Republican incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz.
- The newspaper endorsed Cruz in 2012, but this time around, it had some harsh words for the junior senator, saying Cruz has “exhibited little interest in addressing the needs of his fellow Texans during his six years in office.”
- The closely watched race between O’Rourke and Cruz has helped to boost O’Rourke, who raised more than $ 38 million in the third quarter. However, his chances of becoming Texas’ first elected Democratic senator since 1993 are long.
