Cruz says he's willing to participate in debate with O'Rourke on CNNThe Hill, Oct 12, 2018, Chris Mills Rodrigo
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Friday that he is now willing to debate Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) on CNN, the Associated Press reported.
O'Rourke was previously scheduled to appear solo in a townhall in McAllen, Texas, on Oct. 18. Cruz had initially accepted CNN's invitation to join O'Rourke, but later declined earlier this week.
Cruz's announcement came during a campaign stop in Houston on Friday, the same day O'Rourke announced that his campaign had raised more than $38 million in the third quarter of this year, a haul that would rival that of a strong presidential campaign.
The Hill has reached out to Cruz's campaign for comment.
