Episode Details

Texas voters cast their ballots in a high-stakes Senate primary, with Republican Senator John Cornyn facing challenges from Attorney General Ken Paxton and Representative Wesley Hunt. On the Democratic side, Representative Jasmine Crockett and state Representative James Talarico vie for the chance to challenge in November. The primaries occur amidst the U.S.-Israel and Iran conflict, with President Trumps strikes sparking debates over goals and endgame. Cornyn, seen as out of step with Trumps base, has spent heavily on ads, while Paxton, despite scandals, draws crowds with his lawsuits against Democrats. Democrats, winless in Texas Senate races for nearly four decades, pit Crocketts appeal to Black voters against Talaricos faith-driven rallies. New GOP-drawn maps set up heated House battles, with Governor Greg Abbott eyeing reelection and Chip Roy entering the attorney general race.
