2018 United States Senate election in Texas
The 2018 United States Senate election in Texas was held on November 6, 2018, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Texas. Republican incumbent Ted Cruz won re-election to a second term, defeating Democratic Congressman Beto O'Rourke. The primary was held on March 6, 2018, the first primary of the 2018 season. No Democrat has won a general election for statewide office in Texas since Bob Bullock was reelected as lieutenant governor in 1994, with election forecasters declaring it a safe Republican seat at the beginning of the 2018 cycle. However, O'Rourke gradually closed the gap. Leading up to the election, the race was considered unexpectedly competitive. On Election Day, Cruz defeated O'Rourke by a margin of just under 215,000 votes, or 2.6 percent; this was the closest U.S. Senate race in Texas since 1978.
