Senate Race

Democratic challenger for Senate Colin Allred releases a statement on Biden’s debate performance. “Like many Texans, I was disappointed with what I saw in the debate,” Allred said. I remain laser-focused on listening to Texans about what matters most to them and defeating Ted Cruz … I will always put Texans first, no matter who is president.”

Allred announced that his campaign raised $10.5M in Q2, with 357,000+ individual donors. His campaign reports a total of $38M raised since the launch of his campaign.

Hurricane Beryl aid

According to a Houston Chronicle article published July 9th, President Biden said that federal Hurricane Beryl relief was delayed by the White House’s inability to “track down” state leaders. Lt. Gov. responded on July 9th via Twitter that “[Biden] is falsely accusing me that I was not reachable.” On July 11th, he again posted that “the President has misled the people of Texas, the media, Gov. Abbott, and me … President Biden lied about reaching out to me from day one, our declaration request, and the aid he said he would give Texas.”
