Texas primaries heat up as Senate battles shape 2026 midterms
TL;DR Summary
Texas’ primaries kick off the 2026 cycle with two high-profile U.S. Senate races, a crowded governor contest, and newly redrawn congressional districts; Republicans including Sen. John Cornyn and Gov. Greg Abbott face strong challengers, Democrats face uphill odds in statewide contests, and turnout patterns and regional bases will matter in the vote. The AP will not call races until the last polls close and a runoff is possible if no candidate wins a majority.
