Texas primaries: will pragmatism finally deliver Democrats a seat in the red state?
AI Summary
In the Texas primaries, voters appeared to favor pragmatism over more extreme candidates. Democrat James Talarico, who emphasizes unity and appeals to economic populists, won his Senate primary. On the Republican side, incumbent Senator John Cornyn faced a surprisingly close race against the more conservative Ken Paxton, forcing a runoff. The results suggest a potential shift away from bare-knuckle politics in Texas, a state that could be crucial in determining control of the Senate. Talarico's campaign focused on addressing economic divides and Christian nationalism, while Cornyn hopes to win the runoff.
