Overview
- Texas voters are deciding unresolved primary contests in party runoffs that will determine nominees left over from the March primaries.
- The high-profile Republican U.S. Senate runoff pairs incumbent John Cornyn against Attorney General Ken Paxton and has drawn the most national attention.
- President Donald Trump has publicly backed Paxton and other runoff candidates, bringing outside attention and resources to multiple races.
- Several campaigns have changed in the final days because some candidates have withdrawn, so voters should consult their county elections office sample ballots to confirm which contests appear on their ballot.
- The runoffs cover a wide slate beyond the Senate, including every U.S. House district, statewide offices and all 150 Texas House seats, and results could shift party lineups heading into the November general election.
