Who is forecasted today to win the Texas 22nd District House race?
Updated Monday, October 26, 2026 · 8 days to Election Day · VotePredictor
Trever Nehls is favored. The VotePredictor forecast gives Nehls a 99% chance of beating Marquette Greene-Scott, with a predicted margin of Nehls +16.1. That is a Safe R race: Nehls wins in nearly every simulation, and Greene-Scott in the other 1%.
What the forecast is built on
On its 2026 lines the district's 2024 presidential lean is R+21.2 relative to the nation. The House model starts from that lean, adds the national environment as a uniform swing, and weighs incumbency (Trever Nehls holds the seat) and fundraising in the win probability.
- No public district poll, so the margin is the model's.
- The rating shops: the win probability also weighs Cook, Inside Elections and Sabato's current ratings; the margin does not.
- The published forecast: Nehls +16.1, a 99% chance for Nehls.
