AUSTIN, Texas — President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn were renominated Tuesday evening by Texas Republicans as primary polls across the state closed.

Most polls closed at 7 p.m. CST, with El Paso and other areas in the Mountain Time Zone closing an hour later.

Texas’ Democratic primary was being closely watched nationwide on Super Tuesday to see who would emerge to challenge Trump and Cornyn in November.

Long lines remained at some polling sites in Houston and other parts of the state. Anyone who was in line at poll closing time was allowed to cast a ballot.
