This market will resolve according to the winner of the Republican Primary for United States Senator from Texas. 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.

Incumbent Sen. John Cornyn leads trader consensus at 55.5% in the Texas GOP Senate primary market, driven by his substantial fundraising edge—nearly $11 million cash-on-hand—and institutional Republican support, including from the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Texas AG Ken Paxton trails at 43.5%, buoyed by his populist appeal, Trump-aligned record, and recent legal vindication via state Senate acquittal on impeachment charges. Recent internal GOP polls show Cornyn ahead 51-42%, but Paxton's exploratory efforts and grassroots fundraising surge have narrowed the gap since summer. Negligible odds for Dawn Buckingham, Beth Van Duyne, and Wesley Hunt reflect their limited visibility and resources. Traders eye 2025 filings and potential Trump endorsement ahead of the March 2026 primary.
