Today, Lakshya Jain, The Argument’s director of political data, was joined by Zachary Donnini, head of data science at VoteHub, and Split Ticket’s Armin Thomas to talk about the Texas Senate primaries.
Last night saw several primaries, but most eyes were on Texas, where Democrats nominated state Sen. James Talarico over Rep. Jasmine Crockett, while the Republican candidates Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will duke it out in a runoff.
A big story of the night was Talarico's strength in Hispanic areas, where Trump has been bleeding support.
“I do think the sky’s the limit for the Hispanic shift back to Democrats in 2026,” said Donnini.
