In the Texas Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff set for May 26, trader consensus favors Attorney General Ken Paxton at 62.5% over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn's 34.5%, reflecting Paxton's post-primary surge in polls amid criticism of Cornyn as establishment-aligned. After neither secured a majority on March 3—advancing past candidates like Rep. Wesley Hunt—recent surveys, including Impact Research (Paxton 53%, Cornyn 37%) and TPOR (Paxton 49%, Cornyn 41%), show Paxton expanding his lead with hard-right base support on border security and anti-RINO messaging. Paxton's CPAC straw poll dominance (67-21) and a conditional offer to exit if Senate GOP passes the SAVE Act add uncertainty, while a potential Trump endorsement looms as a key catalyst. Other contenders trail far behind.

If no 2026 Texas Republican Senate Primary takes place, this market will resolve to "Other".
The resolution source for this market will be the first announcement of the results from the Texas Republican party, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
