Talarico wins Texas Democratic primary as Republicans face runoff – US politics live | US news
The midterm primary season began with James Talarico winning the Democratic nomination for a US Senate seat in Texas, defeating Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. John Cornyn and Ken Paxton will face each other again in a runoff election on May 26th. National Republicans are concerned that a win by Paxton, a scandal-plagued conservative culture warrior, could jeopardize their chances of holding onto the seat. Meanwhile, the Republican primary between Cornyn and Paxton is expected to be closely contested. In North Carolina, former Democratic governor Roy Cooper and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley won their respective primaries. In Arkansas, incumbent US senator Tom Cotton and governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders are expected to win their primaries. The Senate will vote on a war powers resolution that would prevent Donald Trump from continuing the conflict in Iran.
