Paxton Narrowly Leads Cornyn in Texas Senate Runoff
Description
In a tight race, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton edges out Senator John Cornyn by three points in the Republican Senate runoff, with both candidates having solid bases. Paxton gains support from voters without college degrees and people of color, while Cornyn leads on inflation concerns. With seven percent undecided, turnout from March voters could sway the outcome. Meanwhile, state Senator Mayes Middleton pulls ahead in the attorney general race, and incumbent Jim Wright leads Bo French for railroad commissioner. The general election looms, with Democrat James Talarico polling ahead of both Republicans, potentially impacting the GOPs hold on the seat.
