The 2026 United States Senate election in Texas is scheduled for November 3, 2026, to elect one member of the United States Senate to represent Texas. Party primary elections will be held on March 3, 2026, with runoff elections on May 26, 2026, if no candidate receives a majority in the primary. This market will resolve based on the candidates who win the 2026 Democratic and Republican primary elections for United States Senator from Texas, including any required runoff elections. This market may resolve as soon as the results of both parties' primaries are known definitively. If, for any reason, a candidate other than the primary election winner later becomes the official nominee, this will not affect this market’s resolution. If a different combination of candidates than those listed wins the respective primaries, or if the results of the election aren’t known by November 30, 2026 ET, this market will resolve to “Other.” The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Texas Republican Party and the Texas Democratic Party; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.James Talarico clinched the Democratic nomination for Texas U.S. Senate by defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the March 3 primary, positioning him as the general election challenger against the GOP runoff winner between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton. Recent polls show Paxton leading Cornyn 48%-40% in the upcoming Republican runoff, fueling trader consensus at 58% for a Talarico-Paxton matchup versus 41% for Talarico-Cornyn, as Paxton's stronger base turnout edges the establishment incumbent. Talarico leads both narrowly in head-to-head surveys, boosted by record Q1 fundraising of $27 million, while the GOP intra-party battle risks turnout splits ahead of the May runoff.
