Incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton advanced to the May 26 Republican primary runoff after neither secured a majority in the March contest. Trader consensus currently prices Paxton ahead, reflecting his stronger appeal among conservative primary voters and recent polling that shows him edging Cornyn by narrow margins among likely runoff participants. Heavy negative advertising by pro-Cornyn groups has dominated airwaves in the final weeks, while Cornyn’s substantial fundraising advantage has not translated into a decisive lead. The continued absence of an endorsement from President Trump has kept the race competitive, with both candidates focused on turnout among base voters. Resolution will occur once early voting and election-night results confirm the nominee.
