HOUSTON—One of the nation’s most-watched U.S. Senate races—between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and opponent Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas)—just drew even more attention as President Donald Trump headed to the Lone Star State to speak at a campaign-style rally.
The Toyota Center effortlessly filled up its 18,000-seat capacity, and a further 10,000 to 15,000 supporters watched from outside on digital screens. Earlier, Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign said more than 100,000 Texans registered to attend the event.
