Talarico wins Texas Democratic primary as Republicans face runoff – US politics live
TX – Texas
The Democratic Senate nomination was decided in the party primary; the Republican contest heads to a runoff that will determine the GOP nominee. The institutional decision authority for nominations is the state and party election system administering primaries and runoffs.
Why it matters: This is an election/campaign development (binding for party nomination outcomes). State election officials and party authorities certify primary results and oversee the upcoming Republican runoff as the next procedural step toward the general election.
