While shifting demographics and internal scandals provide a tighter race on paper, overcoming a three-decade Republican stronghold is a massive structural hurdle. It will be interesting to see if voter turnout actually reflects these poll shifts on election day.

This man did an excellent job on breaking down FACTS in a clear and understandable timeline of the Republican Party vs the Democratic Party and Black Americans. There is no doubt that the Republican Party has its issues, but the Republican has a POSITIVE history that has better ALL Americans while the Democrats will pander to minorities using Race to DIVIDE Americans.

🚨BREAKING: Texas AG Ken Paxton says he will not drop out of the U.S. Senate race regardless of who President Trump endorses: “I think that the people of Texas deserve a choice. We’ve had John Cornyn in office for over four decades… he’s been in office since I was in college. He’s been representing us in the Senate but he has not done it well. I’ve asked Texans at every stop, ‘Can you name one accomplishment of John Cornyn in the past 40 years?’ and no one’s ever given me an answer… we’re gonna win this race in the runoff.”

Texas families are paying more for beef while the ranchers raising it say they're struggling just to stay afloat. Brooke Taylor reports beef prices are up nearly 6% from a year ago, with ground beef up more than 7%, as drought and rising costs make it harder for producers to rebuild shrinking cattle herds. The Trump administration is temporarily allowing more imported beef in at a lower tariff rate to boost supply and bring prices down, but some ranchers warn the move could drive prices lower and force more producers out of business. Now beef is becoming an issue in the Texas Senate race, with both Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico saying they oppose policies that could undercut Texas cattle producers.

Rush Limbaugh said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito committed the political betrayal of the century. During the height of the Tea Party movement, Capito ran on repealing Obamacare, won the West Virginia Republican Primary, and went on to win the general election. Once she was elected, she did the EXACT OPPOSITE, voting with Democrats to keep Obamacare in place. That decision has resulted in rising healthcare costs and has left many West Virginians struggling to afford coverage. Rush Limbaugh pointed to that moment in 2017 as a breaking point for many conservative voters. After years of campaigning on repeal, and after voters delivered Republicans control of the House, Senate, and White House, he argued there were no more excuses. When the vote finally came, Rush explained that only a handful of Republican senators... including Capito.... joined Democrats, blocking repeal and went against the very promises that got them elected. This upcoming Republican primary, we have an opportunity to hold her accountable. It’s time for a change, and for leadership that delivers on conservative promises. On May 12, vote Tom Willis for U.S. Senate in the upcoming Republican Primary.

Confusion over new voting rules in Texas’s Dallas and Williamson counties caused Democratic voters to be turned away from polling sites Tuesday as the state’s primary election unfolded. The confusion prompted a judge in Dallas to extend poll hours for the Democratic primary — but that judge’s order was quickly put on hold by the Texas Supreme Court following a request from Republican state Attorney General Ken Paxton. Early Wednesday, the Associated Press projected Texas state representative James Talarico's (D-Texas) win in a primary to become the state’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, defeating Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). Talarico said on social media that he was “deeply concerned” over reports that voters were turned away.

RFK Jr. says three states are refusing to send him the required petitions for ballot access: Maine, New Hampshire, and North Dakota “This would never happen to a presidential campaign from the major political parties… the major political parties have [an undemocratic lock] on this process. Most democracies in the world have a variety of political parties, but the Democratic and Republican parties have succeeded in implementing a number of rules and procedures that make it almost impossible for any normal American to challenge their chokehold.”

President Donald Trump called the Supreme Court's emergency order on mail-in voting "a great ruling for the Republican Party" on Thursday. The court's ruling earlier this week allows the Trump administration to proceed with an executive order that directs the U.S. Postal Service to determine which voters should receive mail-in ballots. The executive order also directs the Department of Homeland Security to build a database of U.S. citizens who are eligible voters. PBS News White House correspondent Liz Landers (Liz Landers) asked the president about what the ruling means for states like North Carolina, where mail-in ballots are due to be sent out next week. "North Carolina is great. It's a great place. I won it all three times. They do some mail-in ballots, but basically they ruled on the legitimacy and the way we want to make them legitimate," Trump said. "It was a great ruling for the Republican Party." Despite his criticism of – and false claims about – mail-in voting, Trump has cast votes by mail several times in Florida elections.

NEW EXCLUSIVE: Third time the charm? Another poll shows Democratic US Senate candidate up in Texas WASHINGTON — The third poll in a row shows Democratic state Rep. James Talarico ahead of Republican Attorney General Attorney General Ken Paxton in Texas’ U.S. Senate race. “What do you make of all these polls coming out showing Paxton down?” I asked outgoing Sen. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) of the latest Texas Southern University poll that has Talarico up by two points. “Umm, well, I suspected that would be the case,” Cornyn — who lost the GOP primary to Paxton — replied. “But we made our case and didn’t prevail.” “Do Democrats have a chance?” I pressed. “Yes,” Cornyn replied. “Really?” “Yeah,” Cornyn said. “Are you going to be helping Paxton at all?” I asked as Cornyn boarded an elevator in the Capitol’s basement. “Ummm,” Cornyn said as the elevator doors shut. “I wasn’t thinking of it.” Full (unpaywalled) transcript at AskaPol politics on Substack.

Chris Wallace just drained the energy from CNN's studio, announcing Trump may soon have the chance to reshape the U.S. government. 1. “If Donald Trump is elected president, it means that they can confirm, without any Democratic votes, any appointment he makes to his Cabinet, to the government, to the Supreme Court, should there be a vacancy. It's an enormous advantage to a president.” 2. “In the House, although that hasn't been decided yet, the Republicans have flipped three Democratic seats. The Democrats haven't flipped a single Republican seat.” 3. “So there is the possibility here of a complete, united Republican government with Donald Trump as the president and with a Republican House and Senate, which means that in terms of appointments, in terms of immigration policy, economic policy, environmental policy, you name it, he could have a pretty blank check.” Wow!

State Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) tells CBS News' Ed O'Keefe he believes that Democrats can win the Texas Senate race in November because he feels "there is a growing backlash to the extremism and the corruption in our government," adding that "it's a bipartisan backlash." "I think we're building a movement to take back power from the people at the very top who are dividing us, and bring that power back to our communities," he said. Talarico is running against Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in Tuesday's Democratic primary. Both are hoping to flip the Senate seat, something that has not been done in three decades.

JUST IN: Vivek Ramaswamy calls out Republican candidates for falling in line with the Democrats against Donald Trump while promising to sue the Biden administration. It’s great to see that not all Republican candidates are falling in line with the Washington uniparty. "The donor class has been calling every Republican candidate and telling us to stay away from this. I refuse to abide by being a disciple of the donor class!" "This is my commitment, on Jan 20th 2025, if I'm elected the next U.S. president, to pardon Donald J. Trump... I have demanded that every other candidate in this race either sign this commitment to pardon.”
