CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) -- It has been projected that the incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz will win the seat for Texas in the United States Senate, beating out challenger Colin Allred.

The incumbent is looking at his third six-year term in the Senate.

Both candidates made last-ditch efforts to appeal with voters in the final hours of Election Day as many casted their votes

This campaign remained historic as both raised more than $160 million combined.

Allred, who would've be Texas' first Black senator, hoped to capitalize on the state's demographic shift and has made reproductive rights a key part of his campaign.
