SCHERTZ, Texas—On March 2, the day before Election Day in Texas’s primaries, three Republicans and two Democrats are making their final pitches across the Lone Star State in heated contests for the U.S. Senate.

On the Democratic side, state Rep. James Talarico and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) are vying for the nomination in a contest that has seen very high early voting turnout for their party. Texas Democrats hold out hope that they could flip the seat, which would be their first statewide win in decades.
