5 things to watch in the Texas primary election
CNN
Texas kicks off the 2022 midterm elections Tuesday with the nation's first primaries.
Two big-name Republicans, Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton, will seek to beat back challenges from the right. In South Texas, the most conservative Democrat in the US House, Rep. Henry Cuellar, is attempting to survive a rematch against Jessica Cisneros, the progressive who nearly ousted him in the primary two years ago.
The contests will be the first test of how the restrictive new voting law enacted by Texas Republicans last year will reshape the electorate.
