This week’s Substack LIVE conversation with Chris Cillizza is a dive explainer on what happened in the Texas primary elections.
Here’s what Chris and Matt discuss:
— Texas primary election results 2026: James Talarico defeats Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary, while John Cornyn and Ken Paxton head to a brutal May 26 runoff
— Republican civil war ahead: $100M+ already spent, more bloodletting coming — is Paxton the nightmare nominee for GOP, or can Cornyn pull off the comeback with Trump help?
— A big trend? Democrats chose unity over combativeness: Talarico’s faith-rooted, optimistic style wins big after his Stephen Colbert boost — could this signal a national Democratic shift away from Trump-style fighting?
— Key insights on 2026 midterms: Incumbent losses (Rep. Dan Crenshaw), Rep. Chip Roy’s runoff trouble, broader Senate map implications, and why Donald Trump is probably enjoying himself right now.
— Whether North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s 90+ showing in the Democratic primaries suggests this Senate seat is about to flip Democratic
— And MUCH more!
