Ogg, the top prosecutor in Texas’ biggest county, is the most prominent Democrat yet to endorse Cruz, who made his name as a tea party firebrand but has sought to emphasize his bipartisan bona fides ahead of November. Earlier this year, Cruz launched a group, “Democrats for Cruz,” to spotlight his work across the aisle on Texas-specific issues that typically fly under the national radar. For one, Cruz has touted his effort with U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, to streamline the permitting process for bridges used to cross the Texas-Mexico border to encourage international trade.

But Ogg’s stamp of approval is unlikely to move most Democrats in Harris County. She won just 25% of the March primary vote against one of her former prosecutors, Sean Teare, who charged his former boss with abandoning her reformist principles…

This is sorta like George Santos attempting a comeback by bragging about how he got Robert Menendez’s endorsement, like Cruz obviously hasn’t been paying attention to his local politics for a while now
