Texas Senate Primary Breaks Advertising Spending Records
TL;DR Summary
The Texas Senate primary has become the most expensive in U.S. history, with AdImpact reporting more than $125 million spent on campaign ads. Republican John Cornyn has heavily outspent Ken Paxton, while Democrat James Talarico has outraised Jasmine Crockett; both sides rely on deep-pocket donors and dark-money groups. The race appears headed for a May runoff after the entry of Wesley Hunt, and Trump’s endorsement status remains a pivotal factor in the outcome.
