Crenshaw Falls to Steve Toth in Texas GOP Primary

In a tight Texas GOP primary for the 2nd District, Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost to hard‑line state Rep. Steve Toth, a result framed as a rebuke of Crenshaw’s occasional breaks with Republicans and his stance on the 2020 election amid strong Trump loyalty in a solidly Republican Houston-area district. Trump did not endorse either candidate, but backers including Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson helped Toth, highlighting the party’s hard-right drift and the vulnerability of incumbents who cross Trump-era lines.

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.
