DALLAS – Most political analysts can usually agree on one thing: Texas is a state that practically "bleeds red," as it has for decades. And now, a Texas congressman is trying to do what no Democrat has been able to do here in nearly 25 years -- win statewide office. Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke from El Paso, elected in 2012 to serve Texas’ 16th Congressional District, is battling it out with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, aiming to capture Cruz's seat come November.

Everyone has a place in this campaign,” O’Rourke says. Cruz is even trying to get his former rival, President Trump, to campaign for him.
