Texas Becomes Battleground State for US Senate After Decades of Being Red | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

From abortion to immigration to the US economy, incumbent Republican Senator Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Congressman Colin Allred squared off in a fast and fiery debate. The winner of their race will be the next US Senator for the state of Texas. Texas has long been a red state, but with 40 electoral votes up for grabs it's become a battleground state for control of the US Senate. From the start of Tuesday night's debate, the abortion issue was front and center. Senator Cruz says people of good faith can disagree. Senator Ted Cruz says, "People are deeply and genuinely pro-life. People are deeply and genuinely pro-choice. There are all sorts of positions in the middle. I agree with the Supreme Court that under our Constitution the way we resolve differences is at the ballot box." Congressman Allred countered that he supports Roe v Wade and added that Senator Cruz's pro-life position is out of touch with the American people.
