John Cornyn

The 2026 Texas Senate primary set a record for being the most expensive Senate primary in American history. Where did all that money come from?

The day after the March 3 primary, President Donald Trump pledged to endorse either John Cornyn or Ken Paxton “soon,” and call on the other to drop out. He has yet to make an endorsement.

Neither John Cornyn nor Ken Paxton cleared the 50% threshold in the Texas GOP Senate primary, forcing a costly runoff while Democratic nominee James Talarico gains additional time to campaign ahead of November.

The incumbent Cornyn, seeking a fifth term in Washington, drew primary challenges from the Texas AG Paxton and Houston Congressman Wesley Hunt.

Talarico, a Democratic candidate for one of Texas' U.S. Senate seats, was set to appear on "The Late Show" on Monday. Host Stephen Colbert lambasted the decision not to air the interview, which was shared on YouTube.

Sen. John Cornyn is introducing the Defeat Sharia in America Act, which says discrimination based on Sharia Law should be a Civil Rights Act Violation.

Sen. John Cornyn is seeking Texas Republicans’ nomination for a fifth term, in a contest that has seen bitter and expensive attacks on all sides. A new poll shows Texas Attorney General Paxton pulling away from Cornyn, but with no candidate leading by enough to avoid a runoff.

The survey findings released Monday come just eight days before the start of early voting.

The Democratic U.S. Senate candidates weighed in on everything from foreign policy and the recent U.S. military actions in Venezuela to healthcare costs and whether they'd support raising taxes on billionaires.

The two Republicans are competing in a heated primary. Cornyn accused Paxton of abusing his office and legal experts said the AG’s legal opinion is not binding.

Crockett had higher name recognition and an overwhelming edge among Black voters, while Talarico kept her margin to single digits through greater support among white and Latino voters.

Crockett sat down with KERA's Bekah Morr to discuss why she's running — and why now.
