I've seen enough: Rep. Tony Gonzales (R) and Brandon Herrera (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TX23.

I've seen enough: James Talarico (D) wins the #TXSEN Dem primary.

Don't miss @CookPolitical's live coverage of tonight's primaries, featuring the best analysts in the business.

I've seen enough: Steve Toth (R) defeats Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) in the #TX02 GOP primary.

I've seen enough: Sen. John Cornyn (R) and Ken Paxton (R) advance to a GOP runoff in #TXSEN.

Incumbent watch: #NC04 Valerie Foushee (D) looking ok so far, but Reps. Al Green (D) #TX18 and Dan Crenshaw (R) in #TX02 look to be in very serious trouble.

And, Talarico (D) takes the raw vote lead w/ a 76%-23% rout of Crockett (D) in Travis. Co. (Austin). This isn't on track to be a blowout, but he's the clear favorite. #TXSEN

Crockett (D) wins Harris Co. (Houston) early vote 54%-45% over Talarico (D), but that's not good enough w/ Talarico dominating heavily Hispanic counties. #TXSEN

As expected, Talarico (D) dominating Austin area home base, winning Hays Co. 74%-26%. He's the heavy favorite based on everything we've seen so far. #TXSEN

And, Talarico (D) wins the Nueces Co. (Corpus Christi) early vote 62%-36% over Crockett (D), the first indication he's winning Hispanic voters. If that's the case elsewhere, he's the heavy favorite to win. #TXSEN

On the GOP side, a runoff looks virtually assured, w/ Paxton likely to finish ahead of Cornyn and Hunt in a distant third. #TXSEN

Early returns: as expected, Crockett dominating areas w/ significant Black electorates in DFW, but Talarico holding his own among white suburban Dems and we don't know much about the rest of the state yet.

CNN poll showing 41% approve - 59% disapprove of US action in Iran basically mirrors Trump’s overall job approval rating (41/57). Opinion of Trump drives opinions on attacks on Iran. cookpolitical.com/survey-researc…

The TX SEN and the Rep. Tony Gonzales are getting a lot of attention, but there are a BUNCH of consequential House primaries on the ballot on 3/3. @ercovey and @MattKleinOnline get you up to speed on all of them!

Democrats’ 10D-1R gerrymander of VA’s map clears a major hurdle, though the Virginia Supreme Court could still strike it down post-referendum.

NEW: For the first time in years, Dems are sounding the alarm about $$$ problems. Inside a FL strategy session with top WH, Trump aides last week as RNC preps for new spending rules from Supreme Court. Me and @teddyschleifer on the money factor in 2026. nytimes.com/2026/02/10/us/…
