Good analysis.
My bet would be on Raman to defeat Bass in the runoff.
A 20.7% performance means Nithya will make it official next week. Can Pratt still make it, sure but very very unlikely.

America's next economic powerhouse takes shape in Texas as companies abandon the Bay Area in California.
A new report shows Texas attracted 230 corporate relocations between 2018 and 2025, with Dallas, Austin and Houston leading the charge.
Meanwhile, California suffered the nation's steepest corporate losses, with more than 160 companies moving their headquarters out of the San Francisco Bay Area, citing taxes, labor regulations and soaring costs.

dont know anything about spencer pratt. but imo it's not a good idea for male politicians to wear black dress shirts, which were historically associated with seedy nightclub owners and criminals. does not inspire trust.

That is the point. Consolidate the gop around Pratt and block Raman from a runoff. This is a standard tactic these days.

To be precise, don't you mean he is sitting in 5th place according to this internal survey?

Wow, @MattMahanSJ tied for second place among Democrats. As more voters get to know Matt, they like him. He’s one of the only candidates with a positive net favorability rating and the ONLY candidate with a real proven track record of solving problems with common sense solutions.

This survey soft shoes (incorrectly) the entire concept of the wealth tax as it is being framed by the proponents and on the ballot. Asks voters about taxing "high income earners". That's not what this billionaire tax is. It is taxing billionaires and voters of California are inclined to stick it to them.

This syncs up with why Newsom is doing whatever he can to appear to "fight" Trump.

🔵NEW FROM @BlueprintPolls:
We tested Democratic Party vision statements from a range of electeds and pundits. Here's what worked, and what didnt:
“Fight” language stands out. The top-two most-preferred messages, among voters overall as well as independents, both lead with fighting language: a call to imagine a Democrat Party that “fights—really fights—for all of us” ( 14 overall; 14 independents) and a push to make “the fight to restore the American Dream the heart of our party” ( 12 overall; 13 independents).
Anti-woke is broke. An attack on “performative woke politics” is the second-least preferred message among voters overall (-11) and independents (-7), and the worst performing among Democrats (-33).
Name the enemy. Two messages invoke the American Dream, with very different results. One that calls out corporations and concentrated power as villains is among the most-preferred ( 12), while another encouraging plain language like “get rich” but naming no antagonist is among the least-preferred by voters overall and independents (-16), and even more so by Democrats (-33). Terms like "oligarchy" don't work as well as "corporations" and "big money."

The fundamental dynamics of the race haven't changed. He passed on it once based on those dynamics. The wise call would be to sit this one out.

The problem with this analysis is that it likely doesnt model how an R vs D race will play out. In reality the math isnt there for a D statewide this cycle in Texas. Will Paxton need to define his opponent as an extreme liberal? Yes. But once a campaign plays out it is hard to see Paxton losing.
Does Cornyn start in a more marketable position than Paxton? Yes. But both are viable to win. One R just wins more easily.

This vote is less about economics and more about values. California voters are comfortable taxing wealth. Capital, on the other hand, is highly mobile. Both realities can coexist.
California voters are signaling something very clearly. They are far more concerned with cost of living and public services than with the financial well-being of billionaires or the warnings coming from political and economic elites.
