Primary Runoff Results. Texas primary runoff results are available for U.S. Senate, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Austin-area election results are also available for the Texas primary runoffs, including the House District 49 seat where Tovo and Garibay faced off. These results determine the candidates who will advance to the general election.

AG Paxton Scrutiny. Braddock stated on CNN that there is always something else that comes out about AG Paxton. This comment follows President Trump's endorsement of Paxton in the Senate runoff. State Sen. Angela Paxton did not include the Senate race on her list of GOP runoff endorsements.

Governor's Influence and LCRA. Governor Abbott may lose his bid to install a loyalist at the LCRA following the departure of Phil Wilson. This development could impact the governor's ability to shape the leadership of the Lower Colorado River Authority.

Data Center Pause. Ag Commissioner Miller has called for a data center pause. This action suggests a potential reevaluation of the expansion of data centers within Texas. The call comes amidst broader discussions about energy consumption and infrastructure demands.
