  "textContent": "_You can watch this episode of Right Now With Perry Bacon above or by following this show onYouTube or Substack. You can read a transcript here. _\n\nIn Texas next week, Representative Jasmine Crockett and Texas state Representative James Talarico are facing off in a U.S. Senate primary that has drawn national attention. Polls show a very tight race. On the Republican side, incumbent Senator John Cornyn is struggling to hold off Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. And in a U.S. House primary, longtime Representative Al Green could be knocked off by a Democratic challenger. Justin Miller, political editor for the _Texas Observer_ , breaks down those races in the latest edition of _Right Now_. Miller argues that Talarico is benefiting from the perception that he has a better chance in a general election than Crockett. In the GOP side, Paxton is considered more of a MAGA Republican than Cornyn, a key advantage in a GOP primary, says Miller.\n\n__",
