March 12, 2026Getting Deeper into Texas and North Carolina’s Primaries By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— In Texas, Rep. Wesley Hunt’s (R, TX-38) presence in the GOP Senate primary likely hurt Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) on balance.

— In North Carolina, Democrats outvoted Republicans by an even larger 57%-43%, even as they have fallen behind both Unaffiliateds and Republicans in their share of the state’s overall voter registration.
