How Momentum Moved The Texas Primaries And What To Do Before May 26

Primary night didn’t deliver closure—it opened a new chapter. We dig into the razor-thin U.S. Senate results, how Wesley Hunt’s share reshaped the Cornyn vs Paxton showdown, and why a few thousand votes now stand between Texas and a very different November. From Steve Toth’s upset over Dan Crenshaw to Brandon Herrera forcing Tony Gonzalez into another runoff, we map the shifting lanes, the money flows, and the ground-game math that will decide May 26.We also press pause on the horse race to confront the habit that keeps voters stuck: outsourcing judgment to “experts.” Pollsters got the vote-pull story backward; the numbers tell a different tale. If you care about border security, gun rights, and school choice, this is where your skepticism pays off. Runoffs reward intensity and organization, not just name ID. Bring a list, call your neighbors, and plan to vote early—because momentum only matters if you convert it into turnout.Policy took center stage too. Texas’ new SNAP rule kicks in April 1, blocking candy and sweetened drinks from benefit purchases. It’s a push to align safety nets with better health and lower taxpayer-funded healthcare costs. We connect the dots to welfare cliffs that discourage raises and full-time work—and make the case for incentives that point people toward independence. Then we examine a federal drug-trafficking plea out of Houston’s Sauce Factory circle, the slow justice timelines that erode trust, and why stiffer, swifter penalties for trafficking correlate with fewer tents on sidewalks and safer neighborhoods.This one blends election strategy with policy stakes: tight margins, real consequences, and a clear action plan.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
