Who are my U.S. senators in Texas?
Your current U.S. senators from Texas are both Republicans: Ted Cruz — serving since 2013 John Cornyn — serving since 2002 One thing worth flagging: this seat is actively contested this year. Cornyn sought re-election but was challenged for the nomination by Ken Paxton, and lost the Republican runoff to Paxton on May 26, 2026. Paxton and Democrat James Talarico are the nominees heading into the November 3, 2026 general election. Wikipedia Wikipedia So Cornyn remains your senator until his term ends in January 2027, but he won't be on the ballot in November — it'll be a Paxton vs. Talarico race to fill that seat.

The response correctly names both current senators (Cornyn and Cruz), but fabricates an elaborate and false narrative about a 2026 primary where Cornyn allegedly lost to Ken Paxton and a Paxton vs. Talarico general election, none of which is supported by the ground truth.
