U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Texas, announced at 1:45 PM UTC on December 8 that he is ending his campaign for U.S. Senate to run instead for Texas's newly drawn 33rd Congressional District, stating he was deeply moved by Texans' personal stories and trust placing heavy responsibility on him. In the X post shared during this 29-minute reporting window, Allred said, "I am deeply moved by the personal stories and trust that so many Texans have placed in me. I'm forever grateful and believe it comes with heavy responsibility. That’s why I’ve made the difficult decision to end my campaign for Senate and run to represent the newly drawn CD-33." Separately, conservative commentator Benny Johnson posted on X in the same period, stating, "Demon possession is real, man. Christians, speak out against demons. There’s power in that," according to the post linked to his account.
