Dan Crenshaw defeated in Texas GOP primary election

Four-term Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas lost his primary election to state representative Steve Toth, amid internal party conflicts regarding loyalty to former President Trump. Toth, endorsed by Senator Ted Cruz and other conservative groups, positioned himself as a stauncher Trump supporter compared to Crenshaw, who faced criticism for being insufficiently aligned with MAGA principles. Crenshaw, who previously won his seat unopposed, will not advance to the general election, where Toth will compete against Democratic nominee Shaun Finnie.
