A fabricated CNN graphic showing Democratic candidate Kamala Harris ahead of Republican Donald Trump by six points in Texas has been shared ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election as authentic.
At Shell Energy Stadium, Harris addressed a crowd of 30,000, advocating for reproductive freedom alongside Texas Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred. In Austin, Trump, joined by Sen. Ted Cruz, focused on border security and crimes committed by migrants, reiterating his party's core messages.
De La Cruz was the first Republican to win a congressional race in South Texas. The 15th Congressional District was one of two new seats awarded to Texas following the 2020 census, driven by the state’s booming Hispanic population, and was drawn by Republican mapmakers to give them an edge.
Nearly 48% of registered Texans cast their ballots during early voting, with suburban counties outside Houston and San Antonio reporting the highest turnout.
A Texas megachurch in the Dallas suburbs has removed several elders after launching an investigation into abuse allegations against Robert Morris, the church’s founder and former advisor to Donald Trump.
The race is one of several key races in Texas, where voters are also choosing a senator. Incumbent Sen. Cruz has hoped to win a third term against Allred, who is from the Dallas area and would be the state's first Black senator if he is elected.
