Texas voters head to the polls Tuesday in a series of high-profile primary runoff elections that could reshape the state's political future while offering another measure of President Donald Trump's influence over the Republican Party.
The marquee contest is the Republican Senate runoff between longtime Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The race has divided Republicans and drawn national attention, considering it is pitting an establishment member of the GOP and a firebrand. The race was shaken last week after Trump endorsed Paxton. The winner will face Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in November.
