President Biden Criticizes Senator Cruz in Fundraising Tour
President Biden’s Fundraising Tour in Texas
President Joe Biden criticized Texas Senator Ted Cruz during a fundraising tour in his home state, raising millions for his re-election campaign. Biden was at a fundraiser at the Dallas home of lawyer Russell Budd, encouraging donors to support U.S. Representative Colin Allred in the Senate race against Cruz.
Biden’s Call for Support
Biden emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, stating, “The stakes couldn’t be higher across the board. With your help, we’re going to win up and down the ticket, and that includes here in Texas.” He urged Texans to elect Colin as their next senator, adding humor by saying, “so Ted Cruz joins another loser, Donald Trump.”
Fundraising Success
The event in Dallas raised $2.5 million, marking the first of two fundraisers for Biden in Texas that evening. This amount added to Biden’s successful fundraising efforts during his Western swing this week, with his campaign reporting over $53 million raised in February and $155 million in cash on hand.
Political Dynamics
Senator Cruz, known for his criticism of Biden’s policies, particularly on migration along the Texas-Mexico border, is facing a tough battle against Allred, a former professional football player and House Representative. Polls indicate a close race between the two candidates.
Overall, Biden’s fundraising efforts in Texas have been fruitful, propelling his campaign forward in preparation for the upcoming election.
