DEM: 2,076,046 votes (99.5% reporting)

REP: 2,008,385 votes (99.6% reporting)

Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Manny Garcia issued the following statement:

“Turnout in the 2020 Democratic primary shattered our expectations with over 2 million Texans making their voices be heard. We had more ballots cast than Texas Republicans in the Texas Primary. The momentum is clearly on our side. The people of Texas are standing up and fighting for quality healthcare, strong neighborhood schools, and an economy that works for all. Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country. The energy among Texas Democrats will carry us to victory up and down the ballot in November.”
