2018 Midterm Elections Begin with Texas Primaries
-------------------------------------------------

This year's midterm elections are officially beginning today with the
Texas primaries. Texas is one of four minority-majority states in the
country. In an unusual development in one of the races, one of the
Democratic Senate candidates, El Paso Congressmember Beto O'Rourke, has
reported raising almost three times more money in the last few months
than the Republican senator he's looking to unseat: Senator Ted Cruz.
