Texas Senate Primary Pits Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett Against State Rep. James Talarico

HeadlineMar 03, 2026

In Texas, voters are taking to the polls today for a closely watched Democratic primary between Congressmember Jasmine Crockett and state Representative James Talarico, who are vying for a highly contested Senate seat in a heated midterm election that could determine which political party will control Congress during Trump’s final two years in office. Incumbent Republican John Cornyn, who has served in the Senate for over two decades, is facing off against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP primary; both are Trump supporters. Crockett is a progressive who’s staunchly denounced Trump’s policies, while her opponent, Talarico, has appealed to Republican voters and put his Christian faith at the center of his campaign.
