Getting 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.

— However, Hunt’s performance was not distinctively strong anywhere in the state, as he even came in third place in the district he represents.

— Overall, Democrats outvoted Republicans in Texas by 3 points, making 2026 the first midterm cycle since 2002 where Democrats cast more ballots in Texas.

— 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.
