Ted Cruz aims for bipartisan appeal ahead of re-election bid.

Senator Ted Cruz, known for his conservative views, is seeking to burnish his bipartisan image as he runs for re-election in Texas, a state that is becoming more competitive. Cruz highlighted his work as the top Republican on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and his partnerships with Senate Democrats on legislation. However, Democrats remain skeptical of Cruz's bipartisan efforts, viewing him as a partisan attack dog. Cruz's re-election prospects will depend on who his party's presidential nominee is, but he remains agnostic in the 2024 primary.
