The Texas Senate Primary races were the main feature of Tuesday’s midterm primaries, which were also held in Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. In Texas, DNC race hustler Jasmine Crocket lost to James Talarico, a far-left “Christian” who claims God is non-binary and ok with abortions.
In the GOP race, Senator John Cornyn failed to get a majority vote, so a run-off race between himself and his closest challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton, will happen in May. Paxton has offered to drop out of the race if Cornyn commits to passing the SAVE Act, even if it means voting to change the filibuster rule to require it to be verbal, not merely procedural.
Cornyn, Paxton Advance to Runoff in Texas Republican Primary – breitbart.com
Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn overperformed most expectations Tuesday in his fight for a fifth term, advancing to a runoff in the Texas Senate Republican primary against Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The race was called by the Associated Press (AP) at 10:50 am ET. With an estimated 65.8 percent of the vote in, Cornyn led with 658,274 votes, 42.5 percent, to Paxton’s 632,472 votes, 40.8 percent.
Rep. Wesley Hunt finished a distant third with around 13 percent of the projected vote and will be out of office upon the completion of his current House term.
The Washington Republican establishment, led by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the campaign arm of Senate Republicans, pulled out all the stops to support Cornyn, making the race the most expensive Senate primary in history. Cornyn and his allies spent tens of millions to boost Cornyn and attack Paxton and Hunt.
