They sunk $80 million into Beto O’Rourke’s campaign in 2018 (the most ever spent on a Senate race at the time) in a bid to unseat Ted Cruz but lost by nearly three points. In the latest attempt to unseat Cruz, they spent more than $90 million on Colin Allred’s race in 2024 and he lost by more than eight points. Some Democrats complain that donor money is being wasted on states like Texas when it could be spent on battleground states instead.
