View in your browser     Live coverage: Cruz faces O'Rourke in Texas debate showdown Sen. Ted Cruz (R) and Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D) face off in a debate on Tuesday night as a hotly contested Texas race enters its final stretch. The debate is likely to be the last face-to-face showdown between the two, with only three weeks left in a Senate election that has captivated the nation. O’Rourke raised a jaw-dropping $38.1 million between July and September, a record haul, but the Congressman is lagging Cruz in the polls in a deep-red state that has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994.
