Who vote in the Dem primary will likely determine the outcome.

Either candidate could still squeak out a win.

Same on the R side... With the exception I still think the race is still in flux and could easily land in a runoff with Cornyn finishing third and OUT. I don't see Cornyn winning even in a runoff. I think it will be something like a 34,33,32 split. In the primary with Paxton on top with the fight being for second.
