Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton has held off a primary challenge Tuesday night, according to Decision Desk HQ.
The race was called at 8:37 p.m. ET.
George P. Bush, the nephew of the former President George W. Bush and son of former Florida GOP Gov. Jeb Bush, was defeated in the race against the incumbent Paxton, who had the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
Paxton consistently led in polling in his reelection bid for a third term, though surveys tightened in the weeks before the vote. He beat out Bush, the state's land commissioner, for Trump's endorsement.
But the younger Bush's underdog status highlights a remarkable shift within the state's Republican Party over the past decade, with the center of power moving from the business-friendly wing squarely into the social conservatives' camp.

Good news.
Paxton, 43%.
Bush, 23%.
The Bushes have all been a huge disappointment
Hope so!! Goodbye Bushies!!
I think Paxton ended up with 66%
Yep, that snake Raffensperger should have been booted.
I suspect his treachery is going to came back to bite him in November.
“The last of the Bushes is put out to pasture”
He may be down but he isn’t out. It is his destiny to be in office. He can think of no other track in life. We owe it to him.
Next election he will be running for something, bet on it. And I will leave the ballot blank or vote for his Republican or Independent opponent.
Called by 8:30 - Paxton 68% Bush 32%.
I heard Hagopian Carpet Cleaners is hiring GPB.
Really W was an old school country club Republican from New England. He was good on energy (oil) and taxes just to name a few.
That said. W's wife and daughters are all liberal.
W sucked up to Biden. Yeah. No one in the GOP is going to respect him now. And that's one him.
Sucked up to Bill and crooked Hillary too and kept his mouth shut during the destruction occurring during the Obama years. Total turncoat that Texans won’t forget.
W’s wife killed her classmate
W’s wife killed her classmate
Yes, It would seem GA is gone. That rat SOS should been single digits. Instead he even gets above the 50% threshold.
“Could this be the end of another worthless and destructive American dynasty? One can only hope so.”
Yeah, I hope so. But don’t be surprised if Web Hubbel’s kid announces a run in the future. And, of course, there are Malaria and Sakatchewan Obama yet to be heard from.
My guess is that he gave in to peer influence from his wife and daughters. Jenna Bush works for NBC. That tells you everything you need to know.
Bush was disliked during his presidency. Now he is finally getting approval from mainstream media. All he has to do is to badmouth President Trump.
I hope this is the last gasp of the Bush dynasty.....good riddance!
😅😃😄😁😆😅😂😂🤣
Yes. W really got me when he voted for the most corrupt politician in the history of the USA instead of Trump. That said a lot about what he really thinks of the country.
Very good news.
