Texas voters are casting ballots to settle the first U.S. Senate primaries of the midterm election year. Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn is trying to hold on for a fifth term. Democrats will choose whether to send U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett or state Rep. James Talarico to a November general election. Cornyn faces a challenge from MAGA favorite and state Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt. The contest is expected to go to a May runoff. Crockett and Talarico each argue that they are the stronger general election candidate in a state that backed President Donald Trump by double digits. Democrats haven't won a statewide race in Texas in over 30 years.
