The Texas Senate Republican primary runoff election is scheduled for May 26, 2026. This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the Texas Republican Senate Primary runoff election. For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first- and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher placed bracket (ascending). If two candidates receive the same number of valid votes, this market will resolve according to the candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically. This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official. If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of Texas, such as official statewide results published by the Texas Secretary of State (https://elections.sos.state.tx.us/index.htm); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice. If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.Recent polls underscore the razor-thin Texas Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton, set for May 26, with trader consensus implying a narrow Cornyn victory under 3 points amid conflicting surveys. A mid-April Texas Public Opinion Research poll showed Paxton ahead 48%-40% among likely voters, drawing strength from Wesley Hunt's March primary supporters, yet Cornyn holds incumbency advantages, superior fundraising, and a tighter general election matchup against Democrat James Talarico per late-April University of Texas data. Paxton's appeal to the conservative base versus Cornyn's establishment backing sustains the deadlock; a late Trump endorsement, final debate, or turnout shifts among early voters could widen the margin.
