Texas has not elected a Democrat to the US Senate since 1988. But in 2026, Republican Ken Paxton — Texas Attorney General, impeached by his own party in 2023, acquitted, and now running for Senate — is trailing Democratic state representative James Talarico in multiple polls. A secret recording caught Paxton telling donors that Trump's own convention hurt his numbers. Republicans have poured $166 million into Texas to save him. We explain the race, the candidates, the Harris County factor and whether Texas can actually flip.
