Recent University of Houston and super PAC polls from early May show Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton holding a narrow 48-45% edge over incumbent Senator John Cornyn among likely GOP primary runoff voters, with 7% undecided, keeping the May 26 contest statistically tied and driving trader consensus toward tight margins. Paxton's strength among very conservative and Trump-aligned Republicans, bolstered by consolidation of third-place finisher Wesley Hunt's voters, offsets Cornyn's incumbency advantage, superior fundraising exceeding $8 million cash-on-hand, and establishment backing. Absent a late endorsement from former President Trump—who has stayed neutral—or major gaffes, low-turnout runoff dynamics favor Paxton's motivated base, but early voting starting May 20 could solidify separation based on turnout in rural strongholds versus urban areas.

This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the Texas Republican Senate Primary runoff election.
For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first- and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher placed bracket (ascending).
If two candidates receive the same number of valid votes, this market will resolve according to the candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically.
This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official.
If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”.
The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of Texas, such as official statewide results published by the Texas Secretary of State (https://elections.sos.state.tx.us/index.htm); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
