  • Margin of Victory odds are available at BetOnline for the Texas Senate GOP Runoff Primary on Tuesday

  • Paxton by 20% is the favorite paying $200 for every $100 bet

From a runoff to a landslide, U.S. President Donald Trump's endorsement of Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP Texas Senate Primary Tuesday has all but ended long time incumbent John Cornyn's Senate career. 

Oddsmakers have Paxton winning by 20% or greater with 2-1 odds, 15% to 17% has the second shortest odds at 4-1.  The 4th shortest odds were still 12% or greater.  

Everything is bigger in Texas, so they say, and Tuesday May 26 is a massive day at the voting booths.

James Talarico’s opponent will be decided (and the odds suggest it will be a landslide), and there’s an Attorney General race going down as well, among other elections.

Paxton's expected win has thrust Talarico into favorite status at -130. 

Below you’ll find what the oddsmakers project will happen across the board.
