Then-U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, left, debates U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz at the KENS 5 Studios in San Antonio on Oct. 16, 2018.But Abbott’s lead has proven more consistent than Cruz’s — one of several differences with the near-miss loss in 2018 that made O’Rourke a star. The national environment continues to favor Republicans, with President Joe Biden deeply unpopular in Texas.

At the end of the day, Texans really value freedom and family, and the freedom to make the best decision for their families.
O'Rourke's campaign sought to energize supporters Sunday by touting a recent poll that showed the race was within the margin of error with registered voters and"definite voters.
