Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost his GOP primary to a hardline MAGA challenger after falling victim to the Republican Party’s redistricting efforts in the state.
State Rep. Steve Toth trounced the incumbent by 16 percentage points in Tuesday’s primary election in the solidly red Texas 2nd Congressional District after a successful campaign painting Crenshaw as insufficiently conservative or loyal enough to Donald Trump.
The president did not endorse either candidate in the primary, but the lack of support arguably hurt Crenshaw more, as he was the only House Republican in Texas running for re-election without Trump’s backing.
