Checking in on the Texas Senate race to find Senator Ted Cruz making charges that don’t sound like a frontrunner with a comfortable lead four days before the election.  This morning Cruz wondered out loud if his opponent’s campaign is funding the caravan of migrants.

.@tedcruz suggests @BetoORourke campaign funding the caravan. That’s quite a charge four days out. Facts to back it up? #txsen https://t.co/5pY2U4hKiX

Desperate times call for desperate tweets?  Cruz offered no evidence.  Polls on the Texas race have narrowed in recent days with Cruz still holding a lead over Beto O’Rourke.  And then there’s the record early voting in the state:

Meanwhile, the caravan remains hundreds of miles from the U.S. border.  The Associated Press has drone footage from southern Mexico.

If the numbers look smaller, they are.  The caravan is dwindling.  From Newsweek:

“The Trump administration was informed that “only a small percentage” of Central American migrants traveling with several “caravans” headed toward the U.S. will likely make it to the border. The information was received before the administration moved ahead with plans to deploy more than 5,200 troops to the border.”
