On Politics: The moment of truth arrives in Texas
Can Cornyn hang on? Will Talarico or Crockett win? Polls are closing and results will soon arrive.
On Politics
March 3, 2026

Welcome to the first big election night of the 2026 midterm campaign!

Voters have voted, the polls have closed in many places and soon — hopefully — we will start to get results from Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas, along with some clues about the mood of both political parties.

While we’re waiting, you can follow along with our election live updates and check out our results pages for major races, both linked below.

We’ll be back with a special morning edition of On Politics tomorrow. See you then!
