DALLAS - Texas voters went back to the polls on Tuesday to decide some major races, including the widely watched Republican runoff for United States Senate and a heated congressional contest in Dallas County.
Ken Paxton defeats John Cornyn
Huge stakes in tonight's Texas runoff elections
Texas will decide its Republican nominee for Senate, its nominees for state attorney general, and several other races during today's runoff elections. FOX 4's political team has more on what you need to know.
Ken Paxton has defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn for the Republican nomination for Senate.
It’s the most expensive Senate race in U.S. history. Cornyn was seeking a fifth term, but President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton last week.
Paxton will now advance to the November general election to face Democratic nominee James Talarico.
The AP notes that Cornyn is the first sitting Republican senator from Texas to lose the party's nomination for Senate.
