Jessica Steinmann secured the Republican nomination for Texas’s 8th Congressional District with 68 percent of the primary vote in March 2026, backed by endorsements from President Trump, Senator Cruz, and retiring incumbent Morgan Luttrell. The open seat sits in a solidly Republican district that favored the GOP by double digits in recent presidential and House contests, leading forecasters to rate the general election Safe or Solid Republican. Steinmann’s substantial fundraising edge over Democratic nominee Laura Jones, who prevailed in her own primary, reinforces trader expectations of a Republican hold. With the November 3 general election approaching, late developments such as major scandals, health issues, or unexpected turnout shifts remain the primary factors that could narrow the current implied probability.
