Texas U.S. Senate Democratic Primary

Why this race matters
Marquee Democratic matchup: Crockett could appeal more to primary voters but would have a harder time winning a general election; Talarico is betting on broader appeal. The winner faces the GOP primary winner in a state that could become more competitive if Republicans nominate Paxton. The race also serves as a test of whether AIPAC-backed candidates are hurt by that sponsorship with Crockett being backed by AIPAC.
