GOP frets over competitive Texas Senate primary as early voting starts

Some Republicans are growing anxious that incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) could be ousted in the competitive Texas GOP primary for Senate, giving Democrats a rare opening in the red Lone Star State this fall.

As James Talarico gains steam in the Democratic primary against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), across the aisle, Cornyn and some national Republicans are warning of a general election “massacre” for the party if Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading the GOP race in recent polling, ends up at the top of their ticket.

The possibility of an endorsement from President Trump looms as a potential game changer in the tight race, but Trump was still undecided as early voting kicked off.

“Folks who have been paying attention to Texas politics have all seen this movie before,” said Ross Hunt, a GOP data analyst and pollster based in Dallas, pointing to past cycles where Democrats were optimistic about a potential flip that didn’t pan out.
