Steve Toth, a hard-line conservative Texas state representative, defeated Representative Dan Crenshaw in a close-fought Republican primary on Tuesday that will sweep from the House a former Navy SEAL who has occasionally broken with fellow Republicans, according to The Associated Press.

Mr. Trump did not endorse either candidate, a notable blow to Mr. Crenshaw, who found himself the only House Republican in Texas running for re-election without the president’s backing.

TX is cleaning house! Many congrats.

I hope the big Kahuna goes down (Cornyn). It seems possible but it’s a fluid race

Cornyn is toast. During runoffs like this, only the most radical voters participate. In this race, for Republicans, it’s obviously Paxton’s people. Also, from the Democrat side, the radicals already voted in the Democrat Primary and thus CANNOT vote in Republican runoffs.
