In his concession speech at his watch party in Dallas, Allred said he called Cruz and congratulated him on his victory. 'It shouldn't be remarkable to have to admit defeat,' he said. 'You can't just be a patriot when your side wins. Tonight we didn't win, but we will continue to be patriots.'
Cruz, who ran for president in 2016, originally came to the Senate after a stint as Texas' solicitor general. His victory secures a third term in the Senate.
