Trump-aligned challenger topples Crenshaw in Texas GOP primary

Steve Toth defeated Rep. Dan Crenshaw in Texas’s 2nd District Republican primary, unseating Crenshaw—the first incumbent to lose renomination in the 2026 cycle. Toth ran on a more Trump-aligned platform and secured a late endorsement from Sen. Ted Cruz, challenging Crenshaw’s foreign policy and immigration stances; Crenshaw, who had backed Ukraine aid, had tried to tie himself closely to Trump. The district remains solidly Republican, with Toth favored to win in November.
