Dan Crenshaw has lost the GOP primary race in Texas' 2nd Congressional District to Texas state Rep. Steve Toth, CBS News projects. Crenshaw, who has served in the House since 2019, is the only sitting House Republican in Texas who did not receive President Trump's endorsement.Toth, 65, is a small business owner with a background in construction and business consulting. He's an avid supporter of the president, and on the campaign trail, argued that Crenshaw wasn't loyal or conservative enough for the "Make America Great Again" coalition. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas endorsed Toth last week, after Crenshaw voted against a bipartisan aviation safety bill that Cruz championed. Mr. Trump endorsed Toth in the past in his bids for the state house. Texas' second congressional district, in the suburbs of Houston, is heavily Republican, so the winner of a GOP primary is all but guaranteed victory in November.
