The article reports that Texas candidates from both parties were making final pitches ahead of the March 3 primary. Incumbent Republican John Cornyn faced challenges from Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt.

Kamala Harris endorsed Crockett, and Angela Alsobrooks and Ayanna Pressley campaigned for her.
The article says advertising spending and reserved time for the primary had topped $110 million, including more than $67 million spent by Cornyn’s campaign and allied groups. It reports that if no candidate receives at least 50% of the vote, the primary will proceed to a May 26 runoff. Donald Trump visited Texas but did not name which candidate he would endorse.
