If Colin Allred narrowly loses the 2024 TX US Senate Election. What statewide office in TX does

Allred run for in 2026?

US Senate if and only if Cornyn-R does not seek re-election.
Governor if and only if Abbott-R does not seek re-election.
Lt Governor?
Attorney General?

The TX Attorney General position will be open in 2026. Paxton gets removed from office. Whoever replaces Paxton in the TX Attorney General position has to run for a 1st full 4 year term in 2026.

The TX Lt Governor’s position is the most powerful position in TX. Abbott seeks re-election to a 4th term for Governor in 2026. Allred runs for Lt Governor in 2026.

Which TX Republican is an easy target for Allred in 2026?
Dan Patrick in the race for US Senate, Governor or Lt Governor.
Dan Crenshaw in the race for US Senate.
Whoever Abbott appoints to the TX Attorney General’s position.
