Sen. Ted CruzRafael (Ted) Edward CruzTrump: The races that GOP did not think to win "are now very close" Kavanaugh's perspective on abortion under surveillance Councilor Trump says Cruz could lose the race in the Senate MOREThe former spokesman for the campaign (R-Texas) said it was "possible" for Cruz to lose his bid for reelection to Democrat Beto O'Rourke.

Rick Tyler, Cruz's former director of communications during his 2016 presidential election, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday and admitted that Cruz might lose in the red state.

"As a former Cruz strategist, it seems that signs indicate that Ted Cruz could actually lose that race?" Asked MSNBC host Kasie Hunt.

Tyler said that even in a predominantly Republican state, O'Rourke posed a real challenge to the senator.

"It's possible – people say no, it's not possible because you still look at Texas and you say" it's a red state and it's never going to happen ", but Beto O 'Rourke has always underestimated it does not take the CAP's money, "Cruz said.

Tyler said that "O Rourke is leading an" interesting campaign that has attracted the country's attention.

A poll at the end of August revealed that Cruz had a statistical link with O'Rourke – with Cruz just one point ahead in the race in the Senate.

"It should be a 10-15 point race, it's not a zero to four point race," Tyler said Sunday.

Tyler's comments came a day after the White House's budget chief Mick MulvaneyJohn (Mick) Michael MulvaneyTrump: The races GOP did not expect to win are now very tight Mulvaney: Trump regularly asks why Roy Moore lost Councilor Trump, who could lose the race in the Senate MORE At an in camera meeting, he told Republicans that it was a "possibility" that Cruz could lose.
