Mayes Middleton secured the Republican nomination in the May 2026 runoff against Chip Roy after a contested primary, positioning him as the clear frontrunner in this open-seat race to replace Ken Paxton. Texas's consistent Republican performance in statewide contests, combined with Middleton's substantial self-funding and alignment with the Trump administration on priorities like election integrity and border enforcement, supports trader consensus around his strong implied probability. Nathan Johnson won the Democratic runoff but faces structural headwinds in a state where Republicans have held the attorney general post since 1998. Recent polling shows Middleton ahead by single digits with notable undecided voters, though historical patterns and the general election timeline through November 3 continue to shape market pricing.
