This market will resolve to "Yes" if Ken Paxton withdraws from or officially announces his withdrawal from the 2026 Texas Senate Republican Primary election, or announces the suspension of his 2026 Senate campaign, by May 25, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Ken Paxton or his official/legal representatives; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton remains committed to his U.S. Senate GOP primary runoff bid against incumbent John Cornyn, driving trader consensus to 92.5% "No" on him dropping out. The March 17 ballot withdrawal deadline passed without Paxton exiting despite earlier floated conditions tied to GOP passage of voter ID legislation like the SAVE Act and President Trump's anticipated endorsement urging the non-endorsed candidate to bow out. Recent Paxton actions—including major April legal victories defending Senate Bill 4 on border security before the Fifth Circuit and a multistate antitrust suit—signal sustained political momentum. No public statements or reports indicate resignation plans ahead of the May 26 runoff, though a late Trump endorsement shift, scandal escalation, or health issue could alter odds.
