2026 United States Senate election in Texas

2026 United States Senate election in Texas

The 2026 United States Senate election in Texas will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Texas. Republican state attorney general Ken Paxton and Democratic state representative James Talarico are the nominees for their respective parties. Four-term Republican incumbent John Cornyn sought re-election, but was challenged for the nomination by Paxton. After no candidate secured a majority of the vote in the March 3 primary, Paxton, aided by a late endorsement from President Donald Trump, defeated Cornyn with 63 % of the vote in a runoff on May 26. Cornyn was one of two incumbent senators to lose renomination in 2026, along with Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, as well as the first incumbent senator from Texas to lose renomination since 1970. In the Democratic primary, Talarico won the nomination with 52 % of the vote over congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Democrats have not won a Senate election in Texas since 1988.
