Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost the GOP primary for Texas’ 2nd Congressional District to state Rep. Steve Toth, who is backed by former President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. Toth criticized Crenshaw for lacking loyalty to the MAGA coalition, while both candidates addressed a recent deadly shooting in Austin, linking it to immigration. The heavily Republican district makes winning the primary a strong indicator of success in the general election.
