Texas to hold runoffs for key Senate and House races on May 26

What happened: Texas voters will participate in runoff elections on May 26 for the Republican Senate primary and several House races where no candidate won a majority.

Why it matters:

  • Runoffs will determine final candidates for important federal positions.
  • Voters in Texas will have a decisive role in shaping their representation in Congress.

MNN Take: Runoff elections occur when no candidate achieves over 50% of the vote, ensuring the nominee has majority support before the general election.
