Prediction markets on the platform Kalshi indicate a strong likelihood of a Texas Senate race between Attorney General Ken Paxton and state Rep. James Talarico. As of Tuesday's primary election, traders are assigning Talarico a 75% probability of winning the Democratic nomination, significantly ahead of his closest competitor. In the Republican primary, Ken Paxton is favored with an 81% probability of securing the nomination, outpacing incumbent Sen. John Cornyn. Despite Talarico's strong showing in the Democratic primary, prediction markets suggest the Republican Party retains an edge in the November general election, with traders anticipating a Paxton victory, continuing Texas's trend of electing Republicans to the U.S. Senate for over three decades.
