Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted his opponent's event turnout on Tuesday night, claiming only six people showed up for the event in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday.

The senator pushed back on Rep. Colin Allred's (D-TX) claim that one of the Lone Star State's largest counties was ready to "fire" Cruz when the congressman posted pictures from the event that showed a small crowd.

"Wow. Six people showed up in San Antonio," Cruz posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Allred is one of 11 candidates running in the Democratic primary to represent Texas in the Senate. The stop in San Antonio was part of his "Lone Star Listening Tour." Allred, a three-term congressman, was elected to the House in 2018.

The congressman announced his bid to combat Cruz in the 2024 election in May, and he is hoping to use his popularity after his most recent election to propel him to the upper chamber. Opponents see Cruz's seat as vulnerable due to his relationship with former President Donald Trump. The former president has been indicted four times this year as he runs for a return to the White House.

"I'm running for the U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself," Allred said when announcing his bid.

Cruz has served in the Senate since 2013, and he most recently beat then-Rep. Beto O'Rourke in 2018. Cruz also ran a solid race for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 but lost to Trump.
