SUNDAY’S O’ROURKE/CRUZ DEBATE CALLED OFF

  

The second scheduled debate between Congressman Beto O'Rourke and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has been postponed because the Senate may be in session this weekend to vote on Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Organizers announced Friday morning that Sunday night's event at the University of Houston was off while they work with both sides to possibly reschedule.

O'Rourke and Cruz debated last week in Dallas and are set to meet a third time in San Antonio on Oct. 16.

O'Rourke is giving up his El Paso-based House seat to challenge Cruz.  Most polls have him within a few points, though a Democrat hasn't won statewide office in Texas since 1994.
