Trader consensus favors incumbent John Cornyn at 55.5% to win the Texas Republican Senate primary, driven by his incumbency advantage, dominant fundraising exceeding $10 million in cash reserves, and backing from establishment donors and national GOP leaders ahead of the March 2026 vote. Ken Paxton's 45% implied probability reflects his strong grassroots support among Trump-aligned conservatives, fueled by his recent Senate impeachment acquittal, aggressive border security stance, and a recent $3 million fundraising quarter that has tightened internal polls showing Cornyn up by mid-teens. Minimal odds for Dawn Buckingham, Beth Van Duyne, and Wesley Hunt underscore their lower name recognition and resources, with markets sensitive to potential Trump endorsements or Paxton's formal entry decision.
