Longtime Senator John Cornyn faces Attorney General Ken Paxton in the high-stakes runoff after neither cleared 50% in March's primary, with Trump endorsing Paxton on May 19 as a fighter against the establishment.

Pre-election polls give Paxton a slight edge at 48%-45%, with prediction markets favoring him heavily; the winner faces Democrat James Talarico in safely red Texas, testing Trump's influence in the 2026 midterms.
