Attorney General Ken Paxton leads trader consensus at 63.5% to win the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (33.5%) on May 26, reflecting recent polls such as Impact Research (Paxton 53%, Cornyn 37%) and others showing Paxton ahead by 6–16 points among likely voters. Following the March 3 first-round results where neither candidate exceeded 50% despite Cornyn's record $70 million spend, Paxton's appeal to the hard-right base—bolstered by his legal challenges to federal policies and impeachment acquittal—has sustained momentum. President Trump's pending endorsement looms as a potential catalyst, while Dawn Buckingham, Beth Van Duyne, and Wesley Hunt remain negligible at 0.1% after failing to advance.
