Republican Senator Ted Cruz, seeking reelection against Beto O’Rourke, will be visiting El Paso Saturday evening.

Cruz will be speaking at 8:30 p.m. at Franklin High School gym, along with a member of the Texas Narcotics Officers association, a former DEA agent.

The visit comes ahead of a debate between the candidates Tuesday in San Antonio at 7:00 p.m. moutain time.

Protesters confronted Cruz at a Border Patrol Union meeting last year, a crowd forming to chant against the conservative senator for Texas.

A ticket and ID will be required to enter. The El Paso County Republican party says that the rally is already sold out.

Election day is Tuesday, November 6.
