Currently, in the Democratic primary race, Congressman Colin Allred is leading with a significant advantage of approximately 162,000 votes. Allred, a former Tennessee Titans linebacker and Obama administration official in housing and urban development, is positioned well in this contest. He is notably 11 percentage points above the crucial 50% mark, which is the threshold he must surpass to avoid a runoff later in the spring.
With only 34% of the votes counted so far in Texas, Allred's lead is substantial, indicating a favorable outcome for him at this stage of the race. His current standing suggests a strong likelihood of securing the nomination without the need for a secondary election.
