The race for Ted Cruz's U.S. Senate seat keeps getting more and more heated as polls show Cruz in almost a dead heat with Democratic challenger, Rep. Beto O’Rourke.
Texas hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate in three decades.
Last week it was reported that an activist group is raising money to place anti-Cruz billboards in the state quoting a 2016 Donald Trump tweet which claimed Cruz was "all talk, no action."
Trump has now announced that he would be holding a “major rally” for Cruz in Texas next month.
Several recent polls have shown Cruz and O’Rourke in a dead heat, though the deep-red state has not elected a Democrat to the Senate in three decades.
In related news, possible 2020 presidential challenger Michael Avenatti says he will hold a competing "resistance rally" in Texas at the same time as the Cruz/Trump event.
I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas at the exact same time of Trump’s (details tba). All groups are welcome to join. We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again. #Basta— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) September 2, 2018
