watch Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interview Beto O’Rourke & Ted Cruz

With the lead-up to Election Day, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert sent a correspondent to Texas for what is perhaps the Midterm Election's tightest, most-covered race: Beto O'Rourke vs Ted Cruz. To cover the hotbed issue, Colbert sent hard-hitting journalist Triumph the Insult Comic Dog -- on loan from Conan O'Brien -- to talk to, and make fun of, both sides. He actually talks to both candidates and gets in a few zingers, with both Beto and Ted being pretty good sports. (He asks Beto, "Does it concern you that half your base thinks they can vote for you through Instagram?") It's more fun when he's talking to the fans, though, as usual. Watch that below.
