Summary
The Republican Senate primary in Texas is the most expensive in U.S. history, with over $130 million spent by campaigns and outside groups, including super PACs and undisclosed donors. Voter turnout is low, with less than 5% of registered Republicans voting in early elections. President Trumps endorsement of Ken Paxton has shifted the race dynamics, making Cornyn a substantial underdog. Kerr County has installed new flood warning sirens following deadly floods, and a Texas teen detained before graduation has been released from immigration custody. Texas lawmakers are opposing a multi-billion dollar transmission line project, arguing it exceeds the original intent of grid reliability legislation.
