The Federalist Republican voters’ routine apathy to the primary process has permitted RINOs to hijack the party and stonewall conservative priorities.
"But continued neglect of primaries has shown there are consequences to abandoning this important feature of American citizenship."
"Conservatives are about to have the chance to oust some of the Republican Party’s worst elected officials. The question is: Will they take it?
Primary elections to decide which Republicans will run in the 2026 midterms are now officially underway, with the states of Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas each holding such elections on Tuesday. The states are the nation’s first primary contests for the 2026 cycle and will hold subsequent runoff elections later this spring for races in which no candidate garners the required percentage of the vote to secure the nomination.
Among the most notable is Texas’ Republican Senate primary, where incumbent Sen. John Cornyn is facing challenges from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt. While polls aren’t always predictive of how a race turns out, many surveys compiled by RealClearPolitics have consistently shown Paxton leading the pack.
According to the RCP average, Paxton leads with 39.2 percent of the vote, while Cornyn and Hunt trail with 35.4 and 15.8 percent, respectively. Should no candidate receive more than 50 percent during Tuesday’s race, the top two vote-getters will face each other in the May 26 runoff to determine who will be the Republican nominee for the general election.
Other noteworthy races include North Carolina’s Senate GOP primary to see who will compete for outgoing Republican Sen. Thom Tillis’ seat and the Republican primary for Paxton’s soon-to-be-former seat for Texas attorney general.
The primary process is an avenue for conservative voters to ensure that the individual seeking to represent them in public office is actually willing to fight for their beliefs and preferred policies on the issues that matter, when they matter. Unfortunately, too many GOP voters have long neglected it.
What’s become apparent in recent years is Republican electors’ routine apathy to the primary process has permitted RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) to hijack the party and stonewall conservative priorities.
The battle to pass the SAVE America Act encapsulates this problem perfectly." . . .
