On May 27, 2026, Texas voters head to the polls for primary runoff elections. The most high-profile race is the Republican U.S. Senate runoff between incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is backed by former President Donald Trump. The winner will face Democrat Michelle Galindo in November.
Galindo has drawn criticism for past social media posts where she referred to detention facilities for migrant children as 'concentration camps.' She has since apologized, but the remark has become a key attack line for Republicans.
Other runoffs include several state House and Senate races, as well as local judicial contests. Polls close at 7 p.m. local time, and results are expected later tonight.
