GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is headed back to Washington after he turned back a challenge from Democratic Rep. Colin Allred, NBC News projects.

Cruz was expected to win a third term in the deep-red state, but the race tightened in recent weeks, drawing national attention and scrutiny as Allred, a prolific fundraiser, spent millions of dollars on TV and digital ads hammering Cruz for his support of the state’s six-week abortion ban.

But the senator kept his deficit among women to a small margin, according to the NBC News exit poll: 47% of female voters cast their ballots for Cruz this year, versus 51% who voted for Allred.

Cruz was boosted by gains he made among Latino voters in the Lone Star state, according to NBC News exit polls.
