Rep. Dan Crenshaw, the only Texas Republican incumbent not to receive President Donald Trump’s endorsement in this election cycle, lost his re-election campaign on Tuesday, according to unofficial results.Crenshaw, who was hoping to secure a fifth term in Texas’ 2nd Congressional District, was defeated in the primary race by state Rep. Steve Toth (R).Toth ‘has stepped up to the plate to challenge one of Congress’s biggest RINOs, Dan Crenshaw.’Toth received just under 57% of the vote, securing a majority and avoiding a runoff election.Hours after polls closed on Tuesday, Toth declared victory, posting a video on X and stating: "Big thanks to the voters of Congressional District 2. I will work hard for all of you."U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) endorsed Toth ahead of the race, writing in a post on social media, “Steve faithfully served the people of Texas in the Texas House of Representatives, championing our Texas values of liberty, limited government, and constitutional governance.”“Steve is an unwavering fighter for school choice, fiscal responsibility, and the next generation of Americans. Washington needs bold leadership and representatives who will stand up for Texans at every turn,” Cruz continued. “Steve has the experience, the courage, and the conviction to do just that. I’m honored to support his campaign and urge voters in Texas’s 2nd Congressional District to join me in electing Steve Toth to Congress.”RELATED: Tuesday’s must-watch primaries: The races that will determine if America First takes over in 2026 Dan Crenshaw.

Mark Ivanyo, the executive director of Republicans for National Renewal, stated, “@SteveTothTX has stepped up to the plate to challenge one of Congress’s biggest RINOs, Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw has stood against MAGA consistently and held out as a stalwart of the Liz Cheney wing of the GOP that has done so much damage to our country.”RELATED: Dan Crenshaw brushes off apparent death threat as 'hyperbole' as ethics complaint looms Photographer: Sharon Steinmann/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesU.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) endorsed Crenshaw last week, crediting him for doing “a lot behind the scenes” "to help weed out the public corruption in Washington."An internal poll from Crenshaw’s campaign released in November showed the incumbent with a 28-point lead over Toth, according to a press release.At the time the polls closed in Texas, 7:00 p.m. local time, bettors on Kalshi Markets gave Crenshaw a 68% chance of winning the election. Less than two hours after polls closed, those predictions swung in Toth’s favor with nearly 99% odds.Like Blaze News?

The list of possible successors to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) was whittled down somewhat in Tuesday's primary elections.On the Republican side, Rep. Chip Roy (R), an antagonist of Paxton who had Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's endorsement, faced off with Mayes Middleton, a Texas state senator who characterized himself as a proud supporter of the America First agenda; Aaron Reitz, the Paxton-endorsed former assistant attorney general who promised to "destroy the left" if elected; and Joan Huffman, a Texas state senator supported by various police unions.'I'd like to come home to Texas.'Roy, who led the pack in a Texas Politics Project Poll taken last month, said in a video statement on Tuesday afternoon, "There's a lot of important issues, and as a former federal prosecutor and the former first assistant attorney general — someone who's been in the battle fighting for you — I'd like to come home to Texas and be your attorney general."The congressman came home for a relatively disappointing performance, trailing Middleton throughout the night.With over 91% of the expected votes in, Middleton had secured 39.2% of the vote, while Roy had 31.6% as of Wednesday morning, reported NBC News. Huffman and Reitz secured 15% and 14.2% of the vote, respectively.RELATED: Trump-endorsed candidate wins Senate primary in key battleground state Mayes Middleton.

Thank you to conservatives across Texas for your trust, your vote, and for giving us incredible momentum going into the runoff."Middleton pledged in his campaign to "lead the charge to secure our border, protect Texas kids, ensure fairness in girls’ and women’s sports, protect Texas taxpayers and consumers, ensure strict election integrity, and root out waste, fraud, and abuse from our government."Reitz congratulated Roy and Middleton, noting, "They ran strong campaigns, I respect them both, and they earned their place in the next round. I wish them both well."On the Democrat side, Nathan Johnson, a litigator and composer who contributed scores to the anime series "Dragon Ball Z," competed for his party's nomination against former Galveston Mayor Joe Jaworski and Anthony Box, an Army veteran, former FBI agent, and attorney.With 92% of the votes counted, the Associated Press reported that Johnson led Jaworski and Box by over 20 percentage points with 47.9% of the vote, just shy of the 50% necessary to avoid a runoff on May 26. Jaworski reportedly had 26.7% of the vote as of early Wednesday, while Box had 25.4%.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
